错失未来

Hacker News 上怎么说

  ……坚持你的愿景却不发布产品，要做出一个接近你的愿景、哪怕最终发布的成品只有原构想一半接近，似乎都是不可能的。但成功恰恰可能就在那里。《Fumbling the Future》[1] 就是因为这个原因才读起来引人入胜。[1] http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp...

  …to your vision and not ship it, it seems like it is impossible to build something that is close to your vision and then ship something only half as close as that. But that is where the success can be. "Fumbling the Future" [1] is a fascinating read for that reason. [1] http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp...

  ……等等）。去查查施乐（Xerox）帕罗奥多研究中心（PARC）的历史吧。Smalltalk 虚拟机是 Self 以及后来的 Java 虚拟机的基石，背后凝聚了几十年的后续研发。想了解这段历史，可以看 Douglas K. Smith 和 Robert C. Alexander 写的《Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, Then Ignored, the First Personal Computer》，该书出版于 1988 年，差不多三十年前了。企业文化上的失败和反应迟钝……

  …like). Look up the history of Xerox's "Palo Also Research Center (PARC). The Smallalk VM was the foundation of Self, and the later Java VM, with the addition of a couple decades of further work. See "Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, Then Ignored, the First Personal Computer" by Douglas K. Smith and Robert C. Alexander for that story, published in 1988, nearly three decades ago. The cultural failures and non-response…

  ……是一家市值数十亿美元的公司，不想在一个当时潜在市场非常小的产品上“浪费时间”。不管怎么说，Alan Kay 是这么总结这段历史的。在《Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, then Ignored, the First Personal Computer》一书中有更详尽的叙述：http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp...

  …multi-billion-dollar company and didn't want to "waste time" on a product that at the time had a very small potential market. That's how Alan Kay sums up the history, anyways. There's a much more complete account in Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, then Ignored, the First Personal Computer: http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp...

  ……侵犯版权，但由于过了诉讼时效，该案被驳回了。施乐在关键时期（在此之前）做过和没做过的事情，正如一本书的书名以及该书本身所生动描述的那样：《Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, then Ignored, the First Personal Computer》（http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp...）

  …copyright but the case was dismissed since the statute of limitations had expired. What Xerox did and didn't do when it mattered (before this) is well described by the title of a book and the book itself: Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, then Ignored, the First Personal Computer (http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp...)

  ……在 1982 年“美国诉 AT&T 案”同意法令出台前，把 UNIX(TM) 卖出大价钱……我注意到 UNIX System III 也是在那一年发布的。不过说到施乐……嗯，关于它的一本好书是《Fumbling the Future》：http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp... ……它在 1988 年首次出版后至今仍在印。在老牌企业几乎从不发生颠覆性创新的案例里，这甚至都算不上……

  …sell UNIX(TM) for serious money prior to the United States v. AT&T 1982 consent decree ... which I notice is the same year UNIX System III was released. Xerox, though ... well, a good book on that is Fumbling the Future: http://www.amazon.com/Fumbling-Future-Invented-Personal-Comp... ... which is still in print after it's 1988 debut. That isn't even an example of disruptive innovations almost never happening in established…

  我很喜欢读《Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, then Ignored, the First Personal Computer》[0]。读完上半部分，你会纳闷到底有什么能阻挡施乐。到了下半部分，你就会明白施乐是怎么自己把路走死的……

  I enjoyed reading "Fumbling the Future: How Xerox Invented, then Ignored, the First Personal Computer"[0]. At the end of the first half of the book, you wonder how anything can stop Xerox. In the second half, you learn how Xerox can stop…
