    互联网的最初,从Yahoo 开始,互联网上最有价值的商业模式的底层逻辑一直是信息的排序。Yahoo 那个时代是“专家”帮所有的人排序,每个人消费一样的信息。Google 则是由搜索算法根据查询的关键词对信息进行排序。Facebook,Twitter,微信这种是根据每个人的社会关系来给信息排序。而到了字节跳动,则是由算法根据你自己的兴趣和历史,把信息排序之后推荐给你。

    过去全部十年中,我最想做的,就是将政治性写作变成一种艺术。我的出发点总是感到党派偏见和不公。动笔写一本书时,我不会对自己说:“我要写一本完美的书。”我想写它,是因为有某种谎言我想揭穿,有些事实我想唤起人们的注意,我最初关心的,就是让人们听到我的意见。但如果同时没有一种美学感受,我就不会写一本书,甚或一篇为杂志而写的长文。任何人如果有心详细读一下我写的东西,就会发现即使是纯粹的宣传,里面还是包括很多一个全职的政治家会认为与主题无关的东西。我不能也不愿完全抛弃那个我自孩提时代开始形成的世界观。只要我活着,我就会继续追求文字上的风格,继续热爱大自然,继续乐于欣赏那些实实在在的东西,以及星星点点的无用信息。我想压制自己的这方面是徒劳的。我的工作,是将自己根深蒂固的好恶感与时代强加给我们所有人身上那些基本上是大众的、非个体的活动相调和。
    回头看看前面的一两页,我看到我好像制造出了这样一个印象,即我的写作动机完全出自热心公众利益,我不想让这点成为别人对我的最终印象。所有作家都是自负自私,也是懒惰的,在他们各种写作动机的根子里面,还存在一个谜团。写本书是场可怕的、令人疲惫不堪的挣扎,就像很长一段时间得了令身心痛苦的病症。如果不是受某种他既无力抵抗又无法理解的魔鬼迫使,他永远不会做这样一件事。就人们所知,这个魔鬼只不过跟让小孩子号啕以引起别人注意是同样一种本能。但同样正确的是,除非他不停奋力消除自己的个性,否则就写不出任何具有可读性的东西。好的文字就像窗玻璃。我不能十分肯定地说出我的几种动机里哪种最强,但我知道哪种值得遵循。回头看看我的全部作品,我看到在我缺乏政治目的时,写出来的书总无一例外地没有生气,蜕化成华而不实的段落、无意义的句子和装饰性形容词,而且总的说来,是自欺欺人之作。

Foobar2000 组件安装教程

 原作者 博客地址   汉化作者 Asion博客   关于foobar 2000的一些资源 前言 foobar2000 由于其软件架构特点以及开放的姿态,使得第三方很容易开发组件(component)来拓展它的功能。由于在官网下载的默认安装文件只带了少量几个默认的组件,满足不了使用的需求,例如:默认不带 ape,tta,tak 等音频文件格式的解码器,很多无损压缩格式音乐没法播放。所以自己下载安装组件是必备的基本技能。 foobar2000 的中文汉化版(Asion 汉化)为了方便使用,集成了无损压缩文件解码器以及一些其它有用的插件,安装时选上即可,不喜欢折腾的建议使用汉化版。 这里组件指的是 foobar2000 标准组件(*.dll 文件),而非 vst 插件等其它插件,姑且把组件分为两类: 官方组件: 英文版安装包自带,安装时可选择; 第三方组件:非官方自带的组件 除了 foo_input_std.dll 和 foo_ui_std.dll 这两个组件是必须的外,其它的所有组件都 非必需 的,可以随需要增删。第三方组件可以去 官网 、 官方论坛 或者 官方 wiki 去找,也可以去贴吧等地逛逛。 下载 还是要强调一下,这里说的是 foobar2000 component ,不是中文网上通常说的 vst 插件。 下载好的组件包一般是 xxx.zip 或 xxx.fb2k-component 格式的文件,也有用 7z 打包的。前两种都是 zip 压缩(只要把 fb2k-component 改成 zip 文件就变成了 zip: 包)。标准状况下压缩包里的内容结构应该是 xxx.zip yyy.dll README.txt (可能没有) LICENCE.txt (可能没有) (其它杂七杂八) 除少数外一般只有一个 xxx.dll 文件.一定要注意压缩包结构不能是: xxx.zip yy folder (文件夹) zzz.dll … 否则要解压缩,提取那个 dll 文件。 安装 方法一(推荐) 打开 foobar2000 的菜单 文件 > 首选项(file >preferences) 的 组件(components...

《沸腾新十年》2007-2012

2007-2009 大幕拉启 早期玩iPhone的人觉得:它不支持复制粘贴、拍摄视频,也不能更改铃声、壁纸,还不能换电池、插存储卡,手机里的照片和备忘录等也没法复制到电脑中。(但它有Killing Feature是沉浸式的屏幕、上网功能) 在网龙的路演过程中,网龙创始人刘德建发现,在当时极为“高大上”的投资人群中,用iPhone已经蔚然成风 ──论有钱人带领的风潮 苹果早期是不支持第三方输入法的,这一问题要等到2014年iOS 8的推出才正式解决。 ──居然也封闭了整整七年 对于航班管家来说,好用户就是高频乘坐飞机出行的群体。以前,这个群体在哪里、如何捕捉,都是问题。但是iPhone的出现,天然筛选出了那些消费能力强劲的群体。 苹果公司和联通也在为没有好应用来推广iPhone而发愁,所以它们精选了6款应用。王江的航班管家和搜吃搜玩都得以入选,吃到了iPhone大推广时代的官方预装红利。 王江认为:“其实有了智能手机,才能说有了场景。你不拿着手机亲临其境,怎么叫场景呢? 触宝输入法,深合安卓早期创业的三大奥义:“高频、刚需、工具化”。 参赛是一个名利双收的大好机会,能帮助免费推广产品 魅族黄章对之前毫无保留地和雷军交流有些后悔:“我连M9的UI交互文档都发给过他,请他一起探讨。” 安卓早期的最大刚需之一是系统优化。 CyanogenMod因此成为当时全球最大的ROM开发和优化团队。 中国早期安卓生态的很大一部分是建立在CM的基础上的。最着名的有小米的MIUI团队、创新工场的点心团队、占据国内千元机市场的乐蛙OS团队等。 当时的盛大创新院群星璀璨,除了潘爱民和许式伟,还有樊一鹏“樊大师”,也有郝培强和霍炬,有极客余晟,有陆坚博士,有黄伟和吴义坚,有庄表伟,还有白宁等诸多牛人。 2012年夏天,华为的任正非在一个讲话中提到两个“备胎”计划,一个是关于芯片的,另一个就是关于操作系统的。 ──布局早在10年前 2009年,张一鸣决意离开饭否,转而去房产网站九九房,这是26岁的张一鸣从南开大学毕业后的4年里准备开启的第4段工作经历,每份工作平均也就一年多一点的时间。此时的张一鸣与大部分同龄人相比略显著急,稍显无措,全然没有日后那种长期思考的定力和耐性。 2009年12月底,王兴确定做美团。 ──原来也已经10年+ 2009年的“双11”购物节只是给淘宝商城团队找点事情的自我安慰...

Interview at the All Things Digital D5 Conference, Steve and Bill Gates spoke with journalists Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg onstage in May 2007.

Kara Swisher: The first question I was interested in asking is what you think each has contributed to the computer and technology industry— starting with you, Steve, for Bill, and vice versa. Steve Jobs: Well, Bill built the first software company in the industry. And I think he built the first software company before anybody really in our industry knew what a software company was, except for these guys. And that was huge. That was really huge. And the business model that they ended up pursuing turned out to be the one that worked really well for the industry. I think the biggest thing was, Bill was really focused on software before almost anybody else had a clue that it was really the software that— KS: Was important? SJ: That’s what I see. I mean, a lot of other things you could say, but that’s the high-order bit. And I think building a company’s really hard, and it requires your greatest persuasive abilities to hire the best ...

UNstudio实习经验分享

再过一周,我就将离开UNstudio阿姆斯特丹总部,到其上海分部了,鉴于上海分部目前还不承担设计任务,因此可以视为我UNstudio参与设计的体验即将告一段落。这个实习,原定3个月,后来被要求延长到了6个月,后来又延长到9个月,现在看来最终大概有11个月——那天一问,发现我的合同已经到了9月份了,赶紧声明不能这么长,我8月得回学校了。

巴菲特致股东信-1975年

 笔记: 华盛顿邮报已成为伯克希尔第一重仓股 翻译: 雪球:https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131409324 备份:https://archive.ph/4hgK3 原文: To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Last year, when discussing the prospects for 1975, we stated “the outlook for 1975 is not encouraging.” This forecast proved to be distressingly accurate. Our operating earnings for 1975 were $6,713,592, or $6.85 per share, producing a return on beginning shareholders ’ equity of 7.6%. This is the lowest return on equity experienced since 1967. Furthermore, as explained later in this letter, a large segment of these earnings resulted from Federal income tax refunds which will not be available to assist performance in 1976. On balance, however, current trends indicate a somewhat brighter 1976. Operations and prospects will be discussed in greater detail below, under specific industry titles. Our expectation is that significantly better results in textiles, earnings added from recent acquisitio...

Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone on January 9, 2007.

This is a day I’ve been looking forward to for two and a half years. Link Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. And Apple has been— well, first of all, one’s very fortunate if you get to work on just one of these in your career. Apple’s been very fortunate. It’s been able to introduce a few of these into the world. In 1984, we introduced the Macintosh. It didn’t just change Apple, it changed the whole computer industry. In 2001, we introduced the first iPod, and it didn’t just change the way we all listen to music, it changed the entire music industry. Well, today, we’re introducing three revolutionary products of this class. The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. And the third is a breakthrough internet communications device. So, three things: a widescreen iPod with touch controls; a revolutionary mobile phone; and a breakthrough internet communicat...

巴菲特致股东信-1974年

 笔记: 价格战企业的逻辑:需要降价获取销量--->需要降低成本--->怎么降?扩大规模以摊低成本--->提高固定资产投入--->净资产回报率会降低 翻译: 雪球:https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131257947 备份:https://archive.ph/5CEP6 原文: To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Operating results for 1974 overall were unsatisfactory due to the poor performance of our insurance business. In last year's annual report some decline in profitability was predicted but the extent of this decline, which accelerated during the year, was a surprise. Operating earnings for 1974 were $8,383,576, or $8.56 per share, for a return on beginning shareholders' equity of 10.3%. This is the lowest return on equity realized since 1970. Our textile division and our bank both performed very well, turning in improved results against the already good figures of 1973. However, insurance underwriting, which has been mentioned in the last several annual reports as running at levels of unsustainable profitability, turned dramatically worse...

巴菲特致股东信-1973年

 笔记: 在上一年度预测的今年竞争加剧导致利润下滑,真的发生了 翻译Link: 雪球:https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131257618 备份:https://archive.ph/KIfdT 原文: To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: Our financial results for 1973 were satisfactory, with operating earnings of $11,930,592, producing a return of 17.4% on beginning stockholders' equity. Although operating earnings improved from $11.43 to $12.18 per share, earnings on equity decreased from the 19.8% of 1972. This decline occurred because the gain in earnings was not commensurate with the increase in shareholders' investment. We had forecast in last year's report that such a decline was likely. Unfortunately, our forecast proved to be correct. Our textile, banking, and most insurance operations had good years, but certain segments of the insurance business turned in poor results. Overall, our insurance business continues to be a most attractive area in which to employ capital. Management'...
