This depends on how the exploit happened. Run scp on encrypted at rest MySQL database files from the server to a remote machine to steal the data? And you've got jack shit. The whole point is to prevent different types of attacks.
Exactly this. Intel attempts to take over a market, fails, and then simply partners with the market leader after bowing out of their own product lines. I just witnessed this happen with Intel IoT. They discontinued their entire IoT lines, and are now partnering with Arduino. Now they're doing the same thing with the GPU segment!
Not everyone is a WRITER. They're called EDITORS for a reason. The only editing I do on Wikipedia is primarily fixing grammar, spelling typos, or updating links for relevant sourced content. This isn't authorizing articles, so I'm not part of this "1%" group of writers, however these contributions are just as valuable.

Running into the middle of the cross walk when the little person on the sign turns white, something that is perfectly legal, becomes ILLEGAL all of a sudden if you stop, take a pic, and continue on while still during the safe crossing time!?
Just support devices like Yubikeys everywhere. Done.
This is what I use for Google/Gmail, Facebook, Github, and anything that requires SSH access. No more passwords. Just a physical device with a simple pin code.
The problem with the idea of certifying security is that security is a constant moving target. Two weeks ago, WPA was thought to be secure and is part of the PCI-DSS (basically one of the main security "certifications" out there). Today, that's not so anymore. And while some might want to argue about this particular incident and how much it really matters, its more the idea than the single example. The list of CVEs being published every year is freaggin massive. Think of that first MD5 collision. We don't consider MD5 secure anymore. Then moved to SHA1, but now that has known collisions as well. And it is only a matter of time until we see the first collision on SHA256. So what is certified today may very well be entirely broken tomorrow.
It isn't so much that performance has not continued to increase. It is that we've hit the point of diminishing returns for 99% of applications. a single-core 1GHz processor will run Microsoft Word about the same as a 10+ core 3+GHz CPU. And with even low end budget GPUs nowadays offering hardware decoding of 4k h.264, the rest of the computational power of the CPU and GPU isn't really meaningful for the majority of consumers.
Gamers, content producers, and scientific researchers are really the only fields left to push the boundaries of computational power.
The really only one counterpoint I've been able to find where cloud has consistently been a hell of a lot better than in-house hardware is for DNS hosting. Having globally distributed DNS servers hosting queries for my various web sites has been a dream compared to having to manage a DNS server locally. Yeah, it isn't "hard" to do, but when the cost has literally been less than $10/mo, vs the time of keeping a DNS server up to date and redundant across multiple local systems? Yeah, its a no-brainer.
ZFS pretty much can be a single solution for backups though. In my particular organization, we have servers in multiple physical locations. On each storage server, we're using ZFS RAID-Z for local resilience. Then we're using ZFS snapshots for historical backups locally. Then finally we use ZFS SEND/RECV to mirror all of the snapshots across the multiple data centers. 40TB drives backing these pools would be an absolute DREAM!
I currently have well over 20TB total storage in my closet accessible to me. Roughly 10TB is already allocated to just my photo collection from my DSLR camera. Camera RAW files are in the area of 25-35MB/ea. Plus once Photoshop gets involved for the editing process, each of those images are in the 500MB-4GB range (yeeeuep, requiring the switch from PSD to PSB files)
As noted elsewhere, too. People who do video recordings will need this level of storage. Video recording isn't just for movie makers, either. Try running 16x security cameras for a business with 24/7 recording. A smaller HDD fills up quite quick. One of the sites I manage has only 10x cameras running at 640x480 resolution, and we get 30 days recording on 1TB of storage. We've discussed switching up to 1080p cameras and using a few more, but that also mains needing an entirely new recording system too.
Facebook partially does this via reoccurring common GPS locations during the same time frame. I travel North America attending a certain theme of trade show, sometimes hitting upwards of 20+ shows a year for work. People I've personally NEVER met are pretty much my entire "people you may know" list, and just looking at their public posts and photos, it is quite obvious they attend some of the same shows I work. This person in particular probably has both phones in her purse at the same time, so Facebook sees the common travel patterns of the two, and assumes they're related.
This actually is in active development. There is research and development going into writing AI software for business decision making. It just isn't called "CEO Automation", but that is essentially what their function will be. Things like HR and lawyers are being automated now too.
Go watch some interviews with game developers. There are countless shortcuts used in gaming that don't translate into the real world. Using imaging to read signs? Nope, games don't do that. Vehicles move on mostly pre-scripted paths, and that's it. All of the "road signs" in the game are all pre-programmed. When people move in the way of a vehicle, these objects are both directly controlled by the same process, not separate entities that need some form of communication (such as AI based image visual processing in the car). Computations such as acceleration, braking, road grip, etc are all simplified within games, too. The reason why it doesn't take high level AI in gaming is because the artificial world is built around the computer's computation and developer's programming limitations. In the real world, these luxuries simply don't exist.
Not only this, but the USB port is on the bottom, with the traditional audio jack on the top. This does cause issues when trying to rest your phone on things.
Auditing is done by an outside company that is associated with the payment processor. Every single quarter I remind them that their testing suite is broken, and exact details as to why and how. They've yet to do anything about it. Not much else can be done at this point. If I had the choice to switch payment providers to one with sensible testing, I would, but that's not my call sadly.
False Positives during automated audit tools is my own personal hell. PCI Compliance demands these audits be ran every quarter. And every quarter, our Windows 2012r2 server which is only used for a couple of people to work remotely fails the audit. Which test does it fail? The audit claims it is vulnerable to a Windows NT4 terminal services exploit. The exploits have long been patched by Microsoft, plus the effected cyphers have also long been disabled. Yet every single goddamn quarter, we fail the audit, and it is usually a month long battle with one-way messaging to the audit company to let them know their still a bunch of morons. And guess what? The quarter just started this week!
Apple's business is iTunes, or now the App Store. Their phones were initially built just like the iPods to feed into iTunes. Now they're built to feed into the app market. Apple is no different than the other phone producers.
While this list is exclusive to locations that have DDR and other closely related music games, its a nice starting place to find locations of non-chain arcades throughout the country: http://www.ddrfreak.com/locati...
From my experience traveling the country and personally hunting down arcades in various cities, several barcades are a mix between all-ages and 21+ depending on time of day. Also, places with the ticket games like Gameworks and Dave n Busters have a mix of games for both audiences. They generally still have competitive games like Street Fighter or what ever the current flavor of racing game is, and of course DDR. Last year, I just randomly found a barcade near Little Tokyo while in Los Angeles, just looking for a place to get some drinks with friends. Walked in, and they had a classic Street Fighter II arcade running. It was so popular, that they had it also broadcasting on their main projector for everyone to see, and the machine always had a continuous line of players! Was quite the awesome experience getting to throw down on a classic with so many fans of it around still.

Now if only battery manufacturers would think of this now and start building rockets and planning longer ranged space missions...

While I agree mostly with this, I think I've lucked out. I purchased my Acer Aspire One back in 2012, and still going perfectly strong!

Considering that video games are now in the 50GB+ range, 1TB doesn't seem like so much total storage anymore.
A serious answer to an inflammatory question:

Camera RAW files are in the area of 25-35MB/ea.
