Chapter 568 The shocking idea (must read what the author says)

   More than ten years later, Liang Ning wrote in "A Past Story About Domestic Chips and Operating Systems":

   Just like more than ten years ago, as long as the intellectual copyright issue is solved, the technical route is selected, the person who can do it is found, and the CPU\chip can be made. It's still the operating system that doesn't work.

   This sentence is deeply impressed by many people.

   But after this sentence, there is another sentence that few people noticed, that is: the big gap is still ecology!

   What is ecology?

   In today’s words: Meituan is the nanny, Didi is the driver, WeChat’s secretary, Tao* is the shopping mall. Without these applications, no one would need it, no matter how smooth and fast the operating system is.

   This is ecology.

  Ecology, how important is it that IBM has tried, Motorola has tried, SUN has struggled, and even INTEL wants to get rid of the WinTel alliance, the result? Tens of billions of dollars were spent in vain! (pc system, not server)

   (It should be noted here that the ISA (instruction set) of the CPU is the foundation of the software ecosystem; on the other hand, the development of the CPU also requires the support of the software ecosystem.)

  …

There is a term in economics called "path dependence", which is similar to "inertia" in physics: once one chooses to enter a certain path (whether "good" or "bad"), These paths generate dependencies. The word fits perfectly on the rails.

  Standard rails were proposed by Britain, which first used railways. The original designers designed trams. The track width of trams comes from the track width of carriages. How did the carriage gauges come from?

   was determined by ancient Rome two thousand years ago based on the width of two horses' butts.

   It is these two horse butts that determine the width of contemporary American rocket thrusters (because it requires rail transportation).

   This is path dependency.

  So when we stand in the 21st century, we see that the 1900 leap year problem of operating systems, mobile phone OS, excel, RISC processors with hardware compilers, etc., are all caused by the burden of history.

   Then the question comes:

There are no professionals who can design instruction sets, no programmers who can make programming languages ​​popular in the world, or even any pioneering technologies that can get rid of path dependence, all chip instruction sets, programming languages, application software, etc. All developed in America

   Therefore, for the CPU and operating system known to the majority of people, in a flower home is

   has no solution.

  We can't do it!

  …

   Maybe someone thought of Android.

  It is open source and free. Unlike Apple, which has obtained ARM instruction-level authorization, all programs on IPHONE are ARM native applications.

Since its inception, Google has required all programs to be written in JAVA and run on DALVIK (a virtual machine developed by Google), instead of seeing that ARM is the dominant player in the field of mobile phones, it hopes to give MIPS, X86 and other CPUs a Chance.

   For flower growers, it is even the savior of many domestic mobile phone manufacturers!

   But, so what?

  JAVA - sun company.

  Such a simple example tells us: even if Android is less shackled by ISA, please take a look at its software development ecology.

   What is the purpose of our pursuit of an autonomous operating system? Isn't it just to not be controlled by others?

   So what about programming languages? What about SUN's patents? Are you out of control?

Do not!

Not only that, even if Zhao Song acquires Android, Google can still develop Quanzhuo and Taozhuo. Even if Tesla has the background, ability, and human resources to reach the height of Android in the previous life, we must not forget that Tesla is after all. Terminal manufacturers, other mobile phone manufacturers will not cultivate a father for themselves.

   As for closing the loop like Apple?

   In 2012 a news article said:

"According to the Law of Flower Farmers, companies that carry out business within the Flower Farmers' territory, while the annual global market revenue exceeds 10 billion yuan (about 1.55 billion U.S. dollars), and companies with annual revenue of more than 400 million yuan in the Flower Farmer market are making acquisitions must be approved by the government.”

   "Zhonghua agrees to Google's proposal to acquire Motorola's mobile phone business."

   "The flower-growing government requires Android to be free and open source for at least five years."

  What would happen if the flower growers in the above news were replaced by America, and Google by Tesla with its own operating system?

  There is no doubt that the ZTE event is ahead of schedule.

  …

   This is unsolvable.

   Not to mention that there is no road, surrounded by a copper wall and iron wall, there is no possibility of even wading out the road.

   Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Song to do an operating system now.

   And what he wanted to do was

   is the opposite.

   Remember those super apps mentioned above?

  What Zhao Song wants to do is to come up with a reverse layout based on the development of 5G, big data, cloud computing, data centers, and hardware and software in 2018.

   That is to see, Internet ecology!

  …

   May 2003.

  Apple has sold all ARM shares and raised nearly $20 in funding. A year later, a top-secret project team called Iphone will begin to form;

  The father of Android is still hiding in an unknown corner. Five months later, Android was founded.

  In Huajia, Taobao was established and began to block Ebay’s invasion head-on; in Beijing, an e-commerce website called Jingxi Mall was struggling with SARS.

   On the day of May 4th, according to the schedule of a deputy T-level cadre, Zhao Song did not wait for brother-in-law Da Da to come to the door, but welcomed another important guest in advance.

   A guest who he studied for two years and waited for two years.

  …

   "Are you nervous?"

  Ziyu Villa, in the beautiful community garden, used to be a part-time retailer of Tesla, and the beautiful girl Jiao Ning was holding back a smile and asked her husband.

   "I'm not nervous."

  Wang Xin shook his head nervously, not even interested in teasing the alpaca not far away, "I just found out that you can live like this with money?"

   "Isn't the community garden bigger and a few more animals? How can I live?" Jiaoning held her husband's hand and said disapprovingly, "OCT is not bad!"

right! not bad!

  Wang Xin, who was born in a poor family, nodded affirmatively. After his own efforts, he was better than 99% of the people in the country!

Looking at his wife's slightly bulging belly, Wang Xin suddenly remembered how she was performing at Tesla's Xidan flagship store two years ago, and suddenly asked with a smile, "What kind of company is Tesla? I'm reluctant to leave my job even when I'm pregnant. It's not that I can't support you."

  “…”

  Teacher Ning gently stroked his belly and whispered, "Because when our child is born, we will receive a gift signed by the richest man in flowers."

  “.”

Seeing Wang Xin's slightly depressed look, Jiao Ning smiled and took her husband's hand, "As for the welfare of Tesla employees, if you are interested, I will explain it to you. For your question, I can only Tell you a few little things about Tesla, and it's up to you to find the answer."

"you say."

"Every new employee who joins Tesla will immediately receive a text message called Tesla Leadership Principles. In the most prominent position of this text message, Tesla's first leadership guidelines are written. : Obsession with customer experience (CustomerObsession): We care about our competitors, but we will focus more on how to win and maintain customer trust in the company. Maybe most companies will talk about the importance of customers, but At Tesla, this leadership principle is much more than a slogan, it literally drives every aspect of its operations."

"Tesla's annual report always includes a letter Zhao Song wrote to shareholders in 2001. The letter repeatedly stressed that the company's priority is not short-term profit, but long-term customer value. Correspondingly, the company's employees The most weighted part of the assessment is whether he embodies and promotes the implementation of leadership principles, not the revenue or profit he brings."

"Every Tesla customer can write to Zhao Song's public mailbox to reflect the problem and get a reply. Zhao Song will personally forward the questions he deems important to the responsible department. Such forwarding emails have a specific issue in Tesla. The title: ZEscalation. The department that receives this email must provide detailed incident analysis, solutions, and how to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents within 24 hours.”

"Okay, okay..." Wang Xin rubbed her forehead and said with a headache, "I know Tesla is very good, but apart from being invited to meet its founder today, I haven't received any attention from it. ."

  “Humph~”

  Jiao Ning rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, "If you don't take your words seriously, why did someone ask the old lady to agree to your request for a meal two years ago?"

   "...What?" Wang Xin stared at Yangyin's wife in a stunned manner.

"Pharaoh, I married you because I discovered your sincerity and potential when you pursued me." The former Tesla banner salesman, Jiaoning, turned to face his current husband and said solemnly. , "But without Tesla's attention, do you think that you can persuade me to promise you to eat because of the way you were dressed like a native turtle and never seen the world?"

   After listening to his wife's words, Wang Xin's brain stopped, and he saw his throat bulging, as if he had suffered a major blow, and asked with difficulty: "What do you mean?"

  “Clap~”

Seeing her husband's lost appearance, he taught Ning Hate to slap him, and said fiercely, "Yes, Zhao Song asked me to explore your bottom line, but I tell you Wang Xin, my mother can be said to be the worst failure. The undercover agent, because I lost myself in it~"

  “…”

  Wang Xin, a former poor boy in the countryside, after years of struggle, finally set up a software outsourcing company with his team, not only became a city person, but also married a beautiful and beautiful wife.

   The hardships and hardships involved are inhumane.

   However, Wang Xin, who has gone through countless storms, is still shocked by what his wife said today.

   However, as the world's top programmer, Wang Xin, a mysterious boss in the online world, would never have imagined that what shocked him the most on this day was not the words of his wife, but another question about the richest man who grows flowers.

   Half an hour later, in the luxurious Louwang villa.

  The greetings are at home for a while, like the boy next door, the richest flower gardener, handed Wang Xin a cigarette, and asked with a smile:

   "Mr. Wang, know about Netscape."

   Wang Xin nodded ignorantly.

"That's good."

   Zhao Song smiled happily, and then asked the question that shocked the top programmers casually:

"if.

I mean, if, in the field of web technology, web development, from today, only one development language can survive 20 years later, combined with another long-lived technical specification (HTML), it can be compatible with the maximum of all hardware. Universal software development platform.”

  "That" Wang Xin replied dumbfounded, "Mr. Zhao, you should know, that's impossible."

   "I'm talking about what if."

   Zhao Song waved his hand and asked decisively, "If that happens, what will happen?"

"It's like that." Wang Xin's eyes gradually lit up, and then it seemed like a dazzling flame broke out. The piercing Zhao Song narrowed his eyes, only to see him dancing and standing up, shouting frantically: "If In that case, coupled with the hardware development to a certain extent, then Netscape's vision will finally be realized.

   Fuck the OS!

   In that case, all applications, not only penguins, sound fields, web browsing, but also large-scale online games, various professional applications, and all applications.

  Mr. Zhao, I am talking about everything, all of which can be implemented on the web! "

   I wrote this chapter with 3450 words in two days, and I have been searching for materials and thinking.

   It doesn’t matter if the book lovers don’t understand, the meaning expressed in this chapter is:

   At the height of the present (2020), the operating system really has nothing to worry about. Instead, what we have to worry about is: why do so many large network enterprises have no fully autonomous operating system kernel?

   …………

   Why is it written like this?

   Because the crueler the reality, the more refreshing YY is in the online novel.

   However, many netizens do not know how cruel the reality is.
