You can actually mirror a dynamic site trivially, it's just that the snapshot goes immediately out of date.
The first way to improve dynamic website performance is to put a proxy in front of the web server to cache content and minimise the number of hits that reach dynamic code.
I'll add a caveat to my comment about mirroring dynamic sites: I'm not talking about the latest wave of non-HTML sites that use JS to render directly in the browser. In theory they can be mirrored as well, but the mirroring software has to execute the JS to retrieve all of the referenced objects to build the site. Bleh, so horrible.
How can you restore the OSX keychain following a reinstall?
How can you share the keychain among multiple computers/user accounts?
The great thing about KeePass (or a text file in a TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt volume) is you get all of these features without any reduction in security. If a user has the master password then they can work on the password database. This is a much better match to real-world use cases than the assumptions OSX makes about its keychain.
The easiest printer exploit is to simply take the printout from the out-tray before the hapless user arrives to collect it. I'd wager that 100% of the time they'll simply assume "something went wrong" and just return to their desk to send the job again.
I know many printers have secure print features that don't release the job until the user arrives at the printer and enters a pin, but everywhere I've worked they have been disabled by IT for unknown reasons.
"Then you fund graduate students, who in my experience tend to rush their work at the end and don't produce research anywhere close to the value of what they are paid."
Grad students are paid barely above minimum wage, if that. They actually aren't expected to produce *any* research output, and anything they get out of their project is regarded as a bonus. Remember, a PhD is a *training* exercise and students are *learning* how to become scientists, no matter how "good" they may seem. This doesn't stop many grad students being exploited. You'd be hard pressed to find a smarter more "capable" (I put that in scare quotes since some grads can't even tie their shoes) group of people being treated like dirt and generally undervalued. They only tolerate it because they're clueless or they just want to tough it out and get their qualification and move on. For yourself, if you are running your research group on the output of grad students (and yes, I know many are) then you're bound to be sunk sooner or later. Remember: pay peanuts, get monkeys!!
It's a strange claim to make, since hardly anyone in science is overpaid. The discrepancies become apparent once you scale income against level of responsibility, perhaps crudely converted to dollar terms based on the equipment they are using/responsible for. It's not uncommon to find a post-doc managing $2-5 million worth of equipment while being paid $40-60 per year. In the private sector such a management policy would be viewed as fascicle at best and negligent at worst.
I do agree with you entirely on one point: the administrative overheads charged against grants are disgustingly inflated by parasitic policies.
From the onset of a cabin fire you have 17 minutes to get the plane on the ground before complete loss of the aircraft.
The growing situation with batteries is bloody terrifying. Will it take a total loss of aircraft before a better solution (than just an outright ban) can be found? Could this be what happened to MH-370 last year?
Some of those aspects make sense, but the big ticket items about "bumping around" are just bullshit. Most laptop batteries, for exampe, come inside a protective plastic case. Most (in my experience) have recessed metal contacts so the battery is unable to short against a loose conductor.
Cars offered at least an order of magnitude improvement in travel times, and an undefined improvement in cargo load, over horses. The benefits to the economy were clear and immediate.
Do not confuse that with an IoT enabled coffee pot or toaster. They *will not* offer anything close to an order of magnitude improvement to either the quality, or efficiency, of our daily lives.
For this reason alone they will simply be a trifle for the weathy and a fun (and rewarding!) hobby for enthusiasts. What the IoT most certainly will not do is allow you to watch TV for an extra hour each evening...
On top of this, and in support of your post AC, the internet never sleeps. Once a device goes online the hordes of scrupulous internet users will hammer on the security relentlessly until it caves. In addition to my fear-mongering, I have to point out that digital exploits spread non-linearly: a new exploit can render entire systems inoperative in minutes to hours of reaching the wild. For this reason alone there are no valid comparisons with physical systems.
Please don't compare copyright violation to speeding.
You can torrent all day long and no one is hurt.
You can speed all day, all year, but eventually you may end up killing or paralyzing someone. If you were *not* speeding then their life may have been spared. Kinetic energy goes up with the square of the velocity. Please do *not* trivialize speeding!!!
Right, so an armed response is appropriate for a cop not believing you? Now try to do *anything* in a modern society operating with zero level of trust. Doesn't work, does it? The instant ramification of such a system would mean that going to the police station to file a statement about some petty disturbance on your street may land you in Gitmo because you "could be lying about being part of a terrorist sleeper cell"!!!!
I agree with you, that's exactly what "bricked" should mean. And with regards to a PC, and assuming no component failure, pretty much means a corrupted BIOS.
I was only hi-lighting the more common usage that I'm seeing online: not endorsing it.
Unfortunately language is rather fluid, so no matter what you think a word/term means, the wider society ultimately gets to decide.
I agree with you entirely, and I too run open WiFi wherever I can.
Unfortunately a sibling poster missed the point entirely. Please see my reply for a clarification: though I'm confident you got all that without too much difficulty.
Here in the UK there are vague legislative issues surrounding open WiFi, and the common belief is that the entity running the access point is somehow responsible for those who utilise it. Whether this is true or not doesn't matter, it plays right into the establishment and ensures all individual's access to the internet can be tracked and traced at all times.

"Even so, the problem with using a local agent is that it would be difficult to automatically synchronize this information across all your devices."
If the other devices can connect to "cloud" services then they can connect to your home server to achieve the same with no additional difficulty.
"You cannot simply mirror that."

Yeah, you're right, that's the second correction to my post. There are probably many others to be made as well...
What would a McDonalds store manager make these days?

He definitely would have gotten less time for raping someone. And possible less time for murder, but that varies a lot.
I agree, 20 years seems disproportionate. I hope he can appeal.
Wow. I'm actually speechless. Next you'll be telling me that loud pipes save lives? Right?
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Try not to fall for bullshit such as this from someone who thinks they are *much* smarter than they actually are.

Nice post, but:
"Power company could monitor it's status to learn (and perhaps shape) peak demand, which can reduce overall energy rates."
I've never understood why anyone would trust the wolves for advice on how to secure the hen-house!?!

I expected better from you 110010001000.
The point is that armed response is not appropriate for the investigation of suspicious computer use.
Whether that suspicion arises from Tor or a compromised home network is indeed beside the point.
Try these or these. Some are better than others, links NSFW (duh!) and are posted for amusement value only.
"One hash can be wrapped inside another, ad infinitum"
Do you count how many times the hash has to be applied? And store that?
Or do you keep hashing and matching until you get a result? How many times do you do this before giving up?
