承担特质（affordance）是一个与产品设计有关的概念，讨论这个概念之前，我想先说一个与之有关的故事。
昨天，我在 Reddit 上读到一个令人伤心的帖子：0.4个比特币被人瞬间从我的 coldcard 转走。帖主买来一个叫做 Coldcard 的比特币钱包（类似 u 盘一样的东西，用来离线存储比特币私钥），设置好新的钱包之后，陆续转入了两笔小金额，当他觉得一切正常，于是转入第三笔，也是最大一笔金额0.39个比特币时，突然出现一笔新的转账记录，有人通过他的钱包，转走了所有0.4个比特币。
到底发生了什么？

Back in the day, famed Broadway director Gower Champion was directing a musical. With time pressure mounting, he entered the theatre during a rehearsal and was alarmed to see the cast just standing around on stage. The choreographer was just sitting there, in the second row of the audience, his head in his hands.
The director asked, "What's going on?"
"I just don't know what to do next," the choreographer lamented.
The director blinked. "Well, do something, so we can change it!"

There is an art to replying and commenting, and probably like 60-70% of people I’ve seen on the internet seem to fail at it. The important thing is not to speak your mind, but to “support” the person you’re replying to.

自从 tvOS 17 允许网络代理应用上架 Apple TV（后文简称 ATV），它的使用门槛一下子降低了许多。简单来说，想要完整地使用 ATV，你不再需要额外的硬件（软路由、旁路由等）。
昨天，我下单了一台2022款第三代 4k ATV，打算把自用的第一代 4k 拿去给爸妈用。得益于这次更新带来的网络代理工具，我只需要配置好网络和常用的 app，爸妈很快就能上手。
四年前，我曾做过一个如何使用 Apple TV 的视频，四年后，我看电视的时间少了许多，用来看电视的 app 也大都不同。不如，借着最近折腾的契机，写一写目前使用 ATV 的方式吧。
文章分为“网络”和“应用”两部分，如果你没有接触过 ATV，照搬有点难度，不过，读完你至少可以知道，原来可以这样看电视！
网络
你可以在 ATV 上看 YouTube，看 Netflix，看 NBA 直播，但这些流媒体，都需要一个完整的互联网。可是，国内的网络不完整，怎么办？你需要一个海外服务器，和一个让你通过这个海外服务器连结完整互联网的工具。

Competence is how good you are when there is something to gain. Character is how good you are when there is nothing to gain.
People will reward you for competence. But people will only love you for your character.

High Agency Information Diets via
• High agency information diets are guided top-down by intentional design and goals.
• It has specific information borders because attention is the scarcest asset in the age of information abundance.
• High agency information diets proactively seek sources with a proven track record. It has firewalls against passive consumption of the world’s worst events or social media drama.
• Feedback loops are used to monitor the reliability and impact of the information diet. It ruthlessly mutes low signal sources.
• Admitting “I don’t know” is a virtue.
• High agency information diets appear selfish, but in the pursuit of directed focus, they can actually have an impact on a cause.

机会成本有两种。一种是显而易见的，当你犯了错，造成损失，或者付出很多却没有回报时，你很快发现错失了什么机会。另一种则隐藏地很深，当你做某件事情，带来了收益或“成功”，于是你加倍投入，直到有一天发现自己并不快乐，错过了自己真正想要的东西，造成了无法挽回的损失。
第一种机会成本在短期就能体现，我们可以快速调头。
拿我举例，今天早上看到投资标的突然跳涨，我兴奋不已，不停刷行情图，刷推特消息，刷 Reddit 论坛。不知不觉，一只刷到了9点。而早上本来需要做的事情，比如锻炼、阅读、写日记，一件都没有做。这便是短期就能发现的机会成本：我浪费了一上午时间，没有任何收获，损失了带给健康和心灵更多好处的机会。
第二种机会成本，因为暗藏在“成功”的阴影之下，需要机缘巧合才能被发现，也有可能，一辈子都发现不了。

Once you have many people doing something, you have lots of competition and little differentiation. You, generally, never want to be part of a popular trend… So I think trends are often things to avoid. What I prefer over trends is a sense of mission. That you are working on a unique problem that people are not solving elsewhere. - Peter Thiel

我以为我学到了更多写作规则，其实我的文字变得越来越无聊。
比如上面这一句，我试图在每一篇博客的第一句话就说出主旨，结果是，你也看到了，我的每篇文章都长的一样，看多了，会让人审美疲劳。
曾经，我以为阅读越多关于写作的书籍，学到更多写作技巧，就能写得更多、更好、更让人喜欢。曾经，我引以为傲地写下50条关于写作的规则，现在看来，规则越多，危害越大，比如说：
● 对于读者来说，当我越遵守规则，就越可以被预见，也就越无趣
● 对于自己来说，当我越遵守规则，越在重复自己，越产生厌恶情绪
● 对于写作来说，规则越多，选题越狭窄，内容越单一，产出也会越少
博客本来没有限制，现在看来，反而是我用规则框住了自己，把写博客这件事，变成了枯燥的重复劳动。
上周，有幸听到一期 Ava 谈写作的播客。节目本身很精彩，更让我觉得幸运的是，Ava 提到一本接…

Kurt Vonnegut on picking a lane:
Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, and not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.
I am not urging you to write a novel, by the way—although I would not be sorry if you wrote one, provided you genuinely cared about something. A petition to the mayor about a pothole in front of your house or a love letter to the girl next door will do.

孔子对颜回说："你晓得德为什么放荡，智为什么外露吗？德之所以放荡，是因为好名；智之所以外露，是因为争势。好名是攻击的主因，用智是争胜的器具，这两个都是有害的凶器，不能用作处世的准则。" - 林语堂

Derek Sivers 崇尚极简，据说，他只有一套衣服，家里只有最基本的家具，就连使用电脑，都把“极简”贯彻得彻底。以前，我觉得这样的极简值得学习，可刚刚在播客里听到这一段，让我对于极简这件事，产生了不一样的看法。
----------------------
（朋友觉得我）太奇怪了。这是因为我大部分时间都在一个黑色的 Unix 终端中度过。像，全屏。底部甚至没有菜单栏。右侧也没有时钟。
我不想屏幕上有任何不必要的像素。因此，我使用一个叫做 OpenBSD 的鲜为人知的操作系统，因为它是我能找到的最极简的选择。甚至在 OpenBSD 上，我使用一个叫做 Rat Poison 的鲜为人知的窗口管理器，因为这是我唯一找到的能将屏幕上的每一个像素都去掉的管理器，除了你正在工作的部分。没有菜单栏，没有右上角的图标。我讨厌所有这些杂乱。
然后，我通常做一切都没有图形界面。没有鼠标，就像这样原始的 Unix 70年代终端，纯文本。这带来了简单。我喜欢这个。它给我一种深刻的满足感。
----------------------
读完这一段，你有什么感觉？首先，他为了达到心目中的极简，付出了超乎寻常的努力，其次，他对极简这件事，有着强烈的欲望。
如果有以下两个作家，你来判断一下，哪一个人更符合极简这个词？
● A 君，身价千万却老掉牙的笔记本，装上刻意找来的古老的操作系统，在一个几乎没有其他用户的远古软件上编辑文字，并且对这件事情沾沾自喜（可能还会拍一张极简桌面发 Instagram）。
