I deal with this in my industry (telecommunications). Just because you've provided proof of identity (eg your phone number, account number), there are still things you're not allowed to do until you've authenticated your identity--and the system determines your authority, to perform an action. This is accomplished through a password, a PIN, etc.
On a phone, it's an interesting shift because with a PIN, we essentially bypassed the need for identity and used only a password; regardless of who you are, you can get in if you have the right key.
With the move to identity being sufficient to unlock a device, we're saying that just on the basis of identity, the authority that used to come with a password (sans identity) can be granted. It's a 180 degree turn.
I don't see a way on my iPhone 6s to require both Touch ID and PIN; it's one or the other. Very few interactions require both, i.e. after a restart it requires the PIN before Touch ID will work.
edit: to clarify the difference
So in other words, humans. They are full of humans.

I've definitely experienced this. A large waterfall development group decides to call themselves Agile. They start proclaiming their mutant fast-waterfall as the One True Agile, adopting terms and structures to appear Agile.
Then you get invited to the hour-long "standups" attended by dozens of un-involved people, "stories" that amount to poorly worded system requirements, "grooming sessions" filled with chickens and "sprints" with development/release cycles that look oddly similar to what we had before they started calling themselves Agile.
It's just a rapid waterfall. Call it "rapid waterfall," or just keep calling it "waterfall" and increase your velocity. It confuses things when people that have worked in Agile shops come around and try to understand what you're doing.
Sidenote - I'd probably title the article "How a ten-person team moved a government agency forward twenty years in two days."
The permalink says "spring" so "sprint" is an improvement on the draft title anyhow. :)
US federal un-subsidized college loans can accrue interest even if paying interest or principle is deferred. Not at all the same as interest-free.
Additionally, with some federal student loans, there are fees of 1 percent and up that are actually removed from the loan amount prior to disbursement that you're on the hook for repaying in entirety.
Also your $200k number isn't accurate; unless you're counting room & board which is different matter not directly tied to education. I don't disagree that the availability of funds seems to contribute to the cost of education, but that number is a bit high.
From teh google:
According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2014–2015 school year was $31,231 at private colleges, $9,139 for state residents at public colleges, and $22,958 for out-of-state residents attending public universities.
The point was not to sell a lot of stuff. The point was to get a lot of people to sign up for Prime. And I'll bet they won. My grandmother who hasn't bought anything on Amazon asked me about it and sure enough, we signed her up for a Prime trial too.
In this case, Twitter sentiment be darned. Amazon had no intention of making Prime Day about the deals. It had everything to do with getting more customers into Prime. And I guarantee you it did. Wal-Mart tried to play but chose the wrong game.
Amazon advertised a sale with a pretty simple rule: you must sign up for Prime. But they didn't put any restrictions on signing up. It wasn't exclusive to people who had already signed up before the announcement. They didn't charge new Prime customers $99 to get into the sale first. They created a lot of interest in a sale by talking about Black Friday, suckered Wal-Mart into jumping on board which only helped drive interest, and then rolled out some marginal deals on random products. Who cares if anyone bought a $14.99 Tupperware set for 40% off? We just got a bunch of people to sign up for a $99/yr membership. Lets say 1% of them convert after the paid period -- now you've just increased not only your $99/yr recurring revenue stream you've opened up opportunities for selling Video/Music and other products to your base. Pretty smart.
