The software doesn't feel different. The Nothing flair is missing, but that's about it. There are minor differences, but moving to the 9a doesn't register as much of a change. Except the camera. The camera is great.

What I miss (cont'd)

* Still adjusting to the colourful icons. The Phone 1 is very grayscale
* On paper the Pixel is lighter, but it feels heavier
* Charging speed. Pixel is sloooooow

What I liked

* Brighter screen
* Better ringtones
* Camera. Huge step up

Everything else is about the same!

Ted Chiang's Story of Your Life features a book on the Heptapod language. I imagine it would be very interesting!

The Harry Potter ones will find a mention I suppose. The titles are absurdly childish ("Newt Scamander") but I still can't help chortle. There is H2G2, which has classic lines like the description of the pan galactic gargle blaster.(1/2)

In a capitalist enterprise, the incentives of the owner and the labour are seldom aligned, which affects productivity. True alignment can only happen when everyone is the owner.

This is partly why startups innovate and large companies can't.
