At least 72.5%. That assumes the $25 threshold was set exactly a decade ago.
Principle zero is that the system should correctly perform the work required by its owners. If what you're saying is that an additional system should be injected that has access to all the required information, and the TSA should query that system, then I won't argue. That would be a balancing act of coordination costs versus the cost of the technical debt added to the TSA, but I don't feel I have sufficient insight to analyze that balance where I currently am. Likewise if you are arguing any other rearrangement of information owners such that some process can access information and inform the TSA's decisions.

If what you're saying is that the TSA should not perform some work because it's not simple to do that work in accordance with other system design principles, then I fear you have fundamentally misunderstood what those principles are for.

I withdraw my claim that the TSA should not seek to optimize according to design principles. I still believe that you are applying them too broadly, but it isn't a position I care to defend at the moment.
Apparently it's not the same build as the golden master. Agh!

They went out of their way to point out that this is a "going forward" thing, too — system software on Apple devices is free. I assume Windows 9 isn't gonna be.
They may work, but they don't work just as well.
2) This is what Apple users want, a simple "just works" for most.

agreed. and it's one of the main reasons that I moved toward an exclusively apple-based workflow over the past 10 years.

3) Any production Machine has a million things connected to it. So the fact that you have to plug >in a million wires into the thing is a mute point.

completely agree as well. most people plug a bunch of shit in, so complaining that they are going to have plug shit in and that will 'ugly' or 'clutter' it up, is definitely a moot point.

This is cheaper than I thought it would be.

i was a bit surprised as well. pleasantly! i was thinking starting price would be $3499, or even $3799. i still have my 2009 mac pro that i'm contemplating replacing with the new mac pro in december.

I still think anyone basing their video or audio off of Apple is insane since they have continued to show that they are more than willing to put pro users on the back burner for what 3 years and need I tell you the Final Cut Pro fiasco?

I love apple hardware and software, but i don't rely on their professional software. Before FCPX issues, i was running Final Cut 7 and Lightroom. Never really liked aperture (for a whole hosts of reasons) so that wasn't an issue. But once FCPX came out I switched to a mixture of Resolve and Premiere/AE. i actually see this HUGE update to the Mac Pro as showing professionals how they don't want us to be on the back burner anymore.
The Mac Pro is over a year old now. And touch id has been around in some form for years. Both are nice, though neither is very revolutionary.

Exactly. Competition among all the HFT entities has squeezed a lot of the volatility out of the market:

You can: I upgraded my Mountain Lion test machine to Mavericks when DP1 landed and created a Parallels virtual machine for Mountain Lion.

However, I found—at least with Parallels—you can't just take an existing hard drive image and use that: you have to create a new virtual machine, install Mountain Lion from scratch on it, then use OS X's Migration Assistant to move everything over.

Fair enough. Yes there is massive disruption and potential for more, but it's a fallacy to think that power lies in the hands of individuals.

The myth that "...a single person can build something on his or her laptop, instantly reach billions of people, and create a movement if he can convince others to believe in the idea." just helps concentrate power into the entities with the most processing power. Who's networks are needed to reach all those people?

This link is relevant to the "What defines a startup?" conversation: http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/gervais-macle...
The parent to my comment stated it was a "charity" funded by investors. I've no idea if AMZN is a good stock investment. I'd just be surprised to find out that investors buying shares from the company have kept it afloat.

People buying shares on the market doesn't give any money to Amazon and is rather meaningless in this context.
This is a hard question to answer without knowing what kind of startup you are planning on starting. If you can share more details on that, you would get better advice that the generic one I am about to give here.

I believe one of the biggest disadvantages that you are not seeing with respect to the location is the distance from the market. Startups are more successful in the Valley compared to anywhere else, because the early adopters are in the valley too. These early adopters/customers allow a startup to know what to build, know when to pivot and know when to scale. Facebook was created in Harvard. Sure, it could have been created anywhere in the world, but looking back, being in one of the most prestigious schools in the world made a huge difference in its success.

So, unless you are building something for a set of people that you will find locally, you should look at moving closer to where other startups in your domain have been successful.
Don't scare me like that! I thought you meant for Amazon Prime members too.

No one expects you to do anything.

Then that's a shift in Apple's marketing. The previous Mac Pro was very much a staple of the music industry. This one? I don't know that anyone outside of the the studios that also do video that needs so much video editing/graphics hardware that they are willing to pay an extra $500-$1000 for it. A lot of the digital processing is done on hardware systems already (like UAD-2).
I successfully installed Mac OS X in VirtualBox using iAtkos ML2, then upgraded it to the latest Mountain Lion through the App Store. You could probably do this, then arrange to mount your current drive and use Migration Assistant.

I might be doing this myself. Google "iAtkos ML2 VirtualBox" to find the settings for VirtualBox that will work.

The difference though is that Enron insiders were engaging in immoral and illegal activities. Bitcoin on the other hand is provably not a scam; it is an existing and backed commodity.

Market manipulation as an insider is impossible, as there are no insiders; manipulation is only possible by attacking infrastructure or accumulating enough BTC.

Future bubbles and crashes are likely, but I predict it's going to continue to bounce back pretty much forever. Only if many major governments began to criminalize it, or if some new somehow "better" cryptocurrency came out, would it be in risk of complete deflation.

> I would hazard a guess a rather large percentage of the US population is already in a 2-day ground shipping radius.

I live in a fairly low population state, and there are at least 2 major UPS distribution centers within a 3-6 hour drive. My small town also has an UPS office and ground facility where shipments through them to the surrounding communities originate. Even FedEx has distribution centers nearby (although their shipping here is notoriously slow and clumsy).

So, I'd believe it. I can't think of anything gets shipped out here via air and much of this area is rural. The only reason Amazon's "free" shipping is slow to this region is likely because they probably hold orders destined for a specific area or zip code until they can get a bulk shipping rate on all of the items and send them out via the same carrier. I've speculated about this before because Amazon will happily hold onto items for 1-2 weeks via free shipping that will arrive within 2-3 days after they've been marked as "shipped." Amazon Prime shipped items usually arrive within 2 days, and like you, I'm pretty sure those are overnight ground.

The End of Download by WebRTC
I second that interest. I'm guessing their target market is a little of both - employees and managers. They want more people to request to work remotely. As other comments here indicate, they did a good job on that count. They are also promoting a soft management style that would be ok with employees playing with their dogs and gardening during the day.

I'm usually an advocate for this kind of approach, but in my experience they are leaving out the part when you really need to get stuff done and work together, which can be really rough.

At the end when the one guy says "If you have the right tools, the right trust, and the right team, you can work wherever you want..." Those are huge caveats, and 37signals is secure and stable enough to have those in excess, which isn't the case with most businesses.
Apple has continued sales of old devices to corporate/educational buyers without making them publicly available in the past. The eMac and original iPad were both available to education markets far longer than public markets.
Agreed. A business is a startup if it is pivoting on a regular business, or developing the product.
Consider that Apple is significantly more secretive than other companies. They probably have all sorts of crazy technologies cooking up in their labs.
Why Every Startup Should be Engaging in Brand Journalism
They say that they don't support it. There's a difference between "doesn't work" and "isn't supported". Isn't supported implies that if you encounter a bug that is due to your choice of JDK, they will not feel obligated to fix it (though may still choose to do so if its practical for them to do so).
Okay, sorry I didn't read the source code yet, but don't pretty much all the standard block-censorschip-circumvention approaches work here?

That's like saying "what differentiates Facebook from other social networks? It just happens to be the most popular. What is stopping someone from creating a better social network, resulting in a migration away from Facebook?"

Can you identify a particular, distinguishing feature of Facebook that accounts for its popularity? You can, but many modern day competitors have most of the same features, plus additional ones. Everything that they do is pretty easy to replicate.

Both Bitcoin and Facebook may be outcompeted some day in the future, but that doesn't make them bubbles.

This isn't going to change until there is a thought process shift for leaders on both the government and contractor side. I worked on a project that fought tooth and nail to create a project using an agile development process and it was one of the best projects I worked on for the government. It was killed due to politics, but the feedback, functionality, UX, and collaboration up to that point were great. Everything else I did was waterfall and we always has the same cycle.

I don't really have a bone in the fight, but to answer your question. In the world today, the company is governed by the extant investors (not the ones that give them money to start up or IPO). So the sentiments of those investors basically determine how the management gets compensated (how high the performance bars are, etc). In a normal world, the investors would tend to default to management provided that management is generating "returns on investment" in relation to the Capital at risk in the organization. For a compnay that is 15 years old+, its pretty odd to see a continual state of "strategic" losses. I don't think anyone is arguing that Amazon is stupid (investors or managment). The legitimate question is more like...what is everyon missing here?

History please.

The USB-socket-in-the-phone standard for recharging phones started once China demanded _de jure_ in 2006 that all data-enabled phones could be recharged using mini/micro-USB. That request had a huge impact: at that time Nokia produced phones with data-only USB ports that could not be used to charge the phone. Suddenly "+1" and "C" models of Nokia's phone started appearing, all with the ability to charge using the USB port. Initially these models where sold only in Asia, then the producers started selling them everywhere, just to streamline the production.

Then, in 2008, the EU Commission asked the producers of mobile handsets to agree on a standard, whatever standard. If they could not came up with a single solution the Commission threatened that they would _impose_ a solution.

In 2010 all the big producers agreed to use micro USB. That was an easy choice, as they were already forced to use it for all the phones sold in China.

In 2010/2011 the CEN and ETSI standardization bodies sat down and produced a spec that mirrors the micro-USB spec.

Now, in 2013, the EU is about to set the CEN spec in stone.

Governments played a big role here. China's regulations first and EU "pressure" later is what lead us to the current status.
