女儿快一岁半了，我问过几次医生，还有网上搜索幼儿食物，都是说减小奶粉，多吃固
体。可是某人仍然坚持要每三小时喂8盎司奶。更甚的是，今天晚上，6:30 8oz, 9:00
8oz, 10:30 又要喂6oz. 我拿着找到的baby center 的 month by month feeding
guide, 结果人根本不看，还砸我的kindle. 大家给评评理吧，我说的人不信，不相关
的人说的人可奉若神明。一
般我就忍了，可看着小人火红的屁股，口里难闻的气味和圆滚滚的肚子，实在是不得不
吵.in

Dear Google: What’s wrong?
I ask because last weekend, while in San Francisco, I asked Google Maps for
“hot chocolate mission” — and was promptly directed to an ARCO station in
Fremont, 40 miles away. Similarly, last month I searched for “coffee”
while in the Embarcadero Center, one of the denser coffee hotspots in
America, and was sent to a Starbucks more than two miles away. And it hasn’
t escaped my notice that you keep highlighting faraway places with Zagat
listings over much closer places without.
Now, sure, if you’re thinking “hey, you’re just abusing your position as
a highfalutin tech columnist to make anecdotal complaints here!” — well,
you’re not entirely wrong. Perk of the position. What can I say? But Google
Docs won’t save documents, the new Gmail interface still feels like a big
step backwards, Gmail Offline keeps crashing on me, Google Hangouts hangs
whenever we try to combine text chat and video…and for what it’s worth, it
’s not just me who’s wondering what’s gone wrong:
Don’t misunderstand. I’ve long been one of your bigger fans. Sure, I
complained: “Google is in serious decline” a few years ago, but you’ve
managed to turned your mighty aircraft carrier around quite nicely since.
Stock at record heights, etc., etc., etc.
I don’t think you’re in decline now. Quite the opposite: I think in
certain domains you’ve become so dominant that you’ve grown complacent. In
fields where you’ve got real competition — e.g. Android, Chrome — you’
re as incisive and innovative as ever. Google+ isn’t exactly setting the
world on fire, but it’s probably become an asset rather than a hindrance.
And the ambition of Google Glass and your crazy moon-shot stuff like balloon
-powered global Internet and self-driving cars (oh, yeah, and immortality)
remains awesome.
The problem is that in certain fields you hardly need to compete any more. I
mean, who competes with Google Maps? Oh, there are plenty of competitors,
but who actually competes? Even mighty Apple is perceived as dramatically
inferior (although Apple Maps has improved by leaps and bounds since its
balky launch.) As for Bing Maps, and Nokia’s There, and OpenStreetMaps et
al. — forget about it.
So if you want to highlight all things Zagat since you acquired them, and
downplay all others, who’s going to stop you, right? I mean, you sent me to
a gas station 40 miles away for hot chocolate, and I just shook my head and
took it in stride. It would be way too much work to install and familiarize
myself with an entirely different map app, when you’re usually mostly good
enough. (Also, to be fair, after I complained about you on Twitter, a
friend who’s a Google employee directed me to Cafe St. Jorge, so I can’t
rule out the possibility that you were just playing the long and subtle game
.)
Same with your bread-and-butter search. Even if Bing was better — and I don
’t for a moment believe that it is — who’s actually going to the trouble
to find that out? I’d have to compare a multitude of different searches to
figure out whether I should switch, and that’s way too much work in this
modern world. As long as you’re perceived as good enough, you don’t
actually need to get any better. Maybe you will anyways, out of the goodness
of your heart, or, more accurately, your aesthetic hunger for purity and
perfection — but you won’t be pushed there. So of course you slow down and
get sloppy.
It’s not really your fault, Google; it’s the fault of your would-be
competitors. So, what the heck, since they can’t seem to get their
collective act together, why not go building barges instead of polishing
products? I bet it’s a lot more fun.
But Google, be careful. IBM grew dominant and became complacent. Microsoft
grew dominant, and became complacent. And look what happened to them. Okay,
fine, so they’re still immensely profitable megacorporations, but they lost
the initiative, they no longer dictate the conversation, they’re not the
ones who build the future any more; they just come and mop up after it’s
built.
That is not the Google way. But you’re pretty huge these days, arguably
bloated, and middle-aged for a tech company — and while your numbers are
great, revenue is a lagging indicator in the technology business. I’m not
saying all is lost. Far from it. I’m just saying that, where everyone else
seems to see a dominant unstoppable machine, I think I see some distant
early warning signs. I hope you see them, too.

天！一岁半还要3小时一喂，这是缺乏育儿最基本常识阿。可怜的小人。赶紧制止吧！
这不是愚蠢而是脑子有病了。

你赶紧带你孩子去验血。1岁以后超过一天32oz会贫血。
还有，让某人也每3小时8oz的吃奶吃几天。

我家娃医生也这末说。一岁以后，每天不得超过３２ＯＺ。　而且一岁之后的孩子应该
以固体食物为主。如果一岁半还喝这末多奶。要么会过胖，要末对副食的消化能力会很
弱。

你们家谁带小孩？如果是你，强硬一些。这时候开始吃固体食物不仅对身体有好处，也
是培养饮食习惯的关键，知道有的小孩就是这个时间段没有好好培养，结果很大了还不
会咀嚼食物，都是硬吞。
