《沸腾十五年》

  《沸腾十五年》 讲述中国，1995-2009 1995互联网商业元年 马云中国黄页 杭州电信有着非常好的社会资源和政府资源，马云却一样都没有。 杭州电信利用中国黄页（ chinapage.com ）已有的名声，做了一个名字很接近的网站，也叫“中国黄页”（ chinesepage.com ），借以分割马云版“中国黄页”的市场。 海归、极客、商人成为中国互联网创业者中的三大特色群体（VC是推手） 1996海归归来 为了确保搜狐不被遗忘，张朝阳选择了最便宜也最有效的方法：树立个人品牌。 1997大门洞开 互联网的一年等于其他行业的7年 网易免费电子邮箱系统一出，中关村性急的评论家们甚至给丁磊戴上第三代程序员的帽子，这个代别划分是这样的：基于DOS平台开发的是第一代，基于Windows平台开发的是第二代，基于Internet平台开发的是第三代。 1998极客当道 曾李青是腾讯5个创始人中最好玩、最开放、最具激情和感召力的一个，与温和的马化腾、爱好技术的张志东相比，是另一个类型。 周鸿祎在公开场合经常教育年轻的创业者，应该先用创业的心态去打工，充分积累自己在管理和业务上的能力和资源 1999狂欢开始了 海归、商人、极客、VC推手，这四类人一起齐刷刷地汇聚在1999年，1999年就这样成为中国互联网最黄金、最灿烂、最辉煌、最值得念想的大年份。 2000泡沫四溢 亚马逊的卖点是：‘最近50年的书我们都有’——这是它提供海量品种的意义。（因为国外有很高的信息化程度，以查询库房是否有存书） 雷军在商店买T恤的时候，发现了求同消费现象。“中国经济和美国经济处在不同的发展阶段，美国消费者寻求个性消费，中国现阶段，需求高度趋同，中国需要50年前版书的人极少。” 单品价格压得再便宜，但5元钱的配送费卓越坚决不免，用户冲着几乎免费的产品而来，但想想既然要出5元的配送费，买一样商品是这个钱，10样商品也是，不如多挑几样商品。 雷军发现，互联网比软件要好玩得多，可以不断地改，不断地去修正，用户可以很快地反馈给你，你也可以很快地进步 2001大转折 段永平反问他：“你卖了公司之后干吗？”丁磊说：“我卖了公司有钱后再开一家公司。” 段永平发现，网易股票被低估是因为公司面临一场官司，也可能被摘牌，这里面有些不确定性。段永平就去找一些法律界人士问官司的问题，问类似的官司最可能的结果是什么，得到...

产品随想 | 陪读《芯片战争》：一、二章

作者其它书也值得读读 已出版《食用油营销第1书》《金龙鱼背后的粮油帝国》《鲁花：一粒花生撬动的粮油帝国》《手机战争》等财经书籍。 第一章 从晶体管到芯片 肖克利要创业的消息，就像17世纪的牛顿宣布要建立工场一样引起了轰动。那时候，美国还在草创时期的半导体产业主要集中在东部的波士顿和纽约长岛地区，许多科学家和工程师精英都慕肖克利之名前往美国西海岸，不远千里地聚集在肖克利旗下。可以这么说，肖克利给硅谷带来了最初的火种。 ——我也認可這個說法，不是斯坦福或其他校園，純粹是人才的原因 芯片发明后的六年间，政府对芯片项目的资助高达3200万美元，其中70%来自空军。同期美国半导体产业的研发经费有约85%的比例来自政府，政府的支持成就了美国在半导体领域的技术优势。“华盛顿通过支付技术研发费用和保证最终产品的市场份额，将原子弹最终制造成功的间隔缩短至六年，晶体管缩短至五年，集成电路缩短至三年。”不过，这些半导体企业实力壮大以后，往往不愿再参与美国政府出资的研发项目，因为那意味着专利权归政府所有，而且还得受保密条款的约束。 ——這纔是更合理的產業支持政策 诺伊斯采用激进的价格政策，将主要芯片产品的价格一举降到1美元，不仅是市场上的主流芯片价格的零头，还低于当时芯片的成本。这不是传统意义上的亏本倾销，而是第一个以反摩尔定律为定价依据的案例。反摩尔定律认为，同样的芯片在18个月后价格就会跌一半，所以按照几年后的价格为当前的芯片定价是有一定合理性的。市场被迅速打开，芯片很快在民用市场得到越来越广泛的应用，仙童的营收和利润都迅速上升，还带动了其母公司的股价上涨。摩尔后来评论：“诺伊斯以低价刺激需求，继而扩大产能、降低成本的策略，对于芯片产业的发展而言，其重要性堪比芯片的发明。” ——看到這裏的時候，真是非常震撼，好厲害的定價策略 东通工用磷渗透法研发出了高频的晶体管，于1957年做出世界上第一款袖珍收音机，并在这款产品上启用了索尼商标。盛田昭夫到美国去推销袖珍收音机的时候，德州仪器刚刚轻率地放弃了这个市场。美国人对盛田昭夫说：你们为什么要制造这种小收音机？美国人都想要大收音机。盛田昭夫回答：单单纽约就有20多家广播公司，同时就有20多套节目在播放，每人使用一台小收音机收听自己喜欢的节目，岂不更好？索尼用“一人一台”的宣传成功打破了美国人全家共用一台大型收音机的观念，成为全世界最畅销的收音机...

Scott Forstall: "Great leaders exude a positive attitude of possibility and don’t shy from working harder than their employees and taking risks."​

  Scott Forstall led the team at Apple that developed the iPhone – and is equally successful in vastly different realms, including co-producing multiple Tony Award winning Broadway shows. What has always impressed me most, though, is the time he devotes to mentoring a diverse set of entrepreneurial founders. We’ve had the pleasure of knowing each other for several years, thanks to mutual friend Ali Partovi ’s incredible Neo community , a mentor community, accelerator and VC through which we support junior engineers to become senior leaders. Ali was an early backer of Airbnb, Dropbox, Uber and Facebook, so I knew I was in good hands! At our recent Neo reunion I was able to catch-up with Scott for a wide-ranging conversation on the landscapes of opportunity in technology and what we’re anticipating next. He kindly agreed to go o...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 15 The Whole Widget

What the world did see was an effective and visionary leader at the height of his powers. These were complicated years for Apple, but Steve handled almost every challenge in exactly the manner he wanted. He had fallen into leadership at such a young age, but he was comfortable in that role now, and justifiably sure of his capacity to guide Apple’s tens of thousands of employees to the goals he set for them. During these years, he would ensure the company’s continued success in personal computers by engineering a deft switch to a new kind of microprocessor; ruthlessly and successfully managing some major transitions in his executive team; and optimizing and building upon the efficiency and ambition of the company’s product development “treadmill,” as Tim Cook describes it. This is also when he delivered what is likely to be remembered as the most notable product of his life, the iPhone, and then improved even that by pivoting once again into a strategy he personally had not wanted to pu...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 11 Do Your Level Best

As a mass-market consumer electronics device, the iPod would eventually be sold, of course, all the usual places: Best Buy, Circuit City, big-box department stores, and even the computer retailers like CompUSA. Steve disdained all these outlets. His obsession with his products continued well after they’d been manufactured. The tacky, low-margin hustle of these chains ran completely against the minimalist aesthetic of his products and the clean exuberance of his marketing. There was only one place where he really enjoyed seeing his products sold to the public: his own Apple stores, which had debuted four months ahead of the iPod. 觉得那些喧嚣、嘈杂的零售渠道，配不上自己极美的产品 Going back as far as the debut of the Mac, Steve had always groused about the way Apple computers were sold in its resellers’ stores. The way his computers were displayed and sold represented the very worst of what could go wrong when things weren’t done his way. The salespeople, always interested in quick turnover, seemed to make litt...

产品随想 | 周刊 第117期：He saw the intersection of art and science and business and built an organization to reflect that.

He disliked biography attempts. “I regard my scientific papers as my essential biography,’’ Land said. “I pour my whole life into the scientific project I’m investigating. I leave behind the things I’ve done in the past to do the work in the present.’’ “The purpose of inventing instant photography was essentially aesthetic,’’ Land said in 1947, announcing the process’s invention. “We live in a world changing so rapidly that what we mean frequently by common sense is doing the thing that would have been right last year.” — Edwin Land, Statement to Polaroid Corporation employees (25 June 1958) The worldview he was describing perfectly echoed Land’s: “Market research is what you do when your product isn’t any good.” And his sense of innovation: “Every significant invention,” Land once said, “must be startling, unexpected, and must come into a world that is not prepared for it. If the world were prepared for it, it would not be much of an invention.” Thirty years later, when a reporter ask...

分布式系统领域的经典论文【转载】

作者：严林  编辑于 2015-05-08 链接：https://www.zhihu.com/question/30026369/answer/46476717 来源：知乎 著作权归作者所有。商业转载请联系作者获得授权，非商业转载请注明出处。 分布式系统在互联网时代，尤其是大数据时代到来之后，成为了每个程序员的必备技能之一。分布式系统从上个世纪80年代就开始有了不少出色的研究和论文，我在这里只列举最近15年范围以内我觉得有重大影响意义的15篇论文（15 within 15）。 1. The Google File System: 这是分布式文件系统领域划时代意义的论文，文中的多副本机制、控制流与数据流隔离和追加写模式等概念几乎成为了分布式文件系统领域的标准，其影响之深远通过其5000+的引用就可见一斑了，Apache Hadoop鼎鼎大名的HDFS就是GFS的模仿之作； 2. MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters： 这篇也是Google的大作，通过Map和Reduce两个操作，大大简化了分布式计算的复杂度，使得任何需要的程序员都可以编写分布式计算程序，其中使用到的技术值得我们好好学习：简约而不简单！Hadoop也根据这篇论文做了一个开源的MapReduce； 3. Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data： Google在NoSQL领域的分布式表格系统，LSM树的最好使用范例，广泛使用到了网页索引存储、YouTube数据管理等业务，Hadoop对应的开源系统叫HBase（我在前公司任职时也开发过一个相应的系统叫BladeCube，性能较HBase有数倍提升）； 4. The Chubby lock service for loosely-coupled distributed systems： Google的分布式锁服务，基于Paxos协议，这篇文章相比于前三篇可能知道的人就少了，但是其对应的开源系统zookeeper几乎是每个后端同学都接触过，其影响力其实不亚于前三篇； 5. Finding a Needle in Haystack: Facebook's Photo Storage： ...
