Re: How Tech Loses Out
There's a part in the Foundation series by Asimov where the Galactic civilization has forgotten how their technology works. They have all this amazing technology, things that generate free energy and terraform planets or whatever, and all that's left are technicians who kind of know that if you push this button that thing is supposed to happen, but they have no idea what the machine is actually doing internally or the physical principles on which it operates. When the machines break, no one is able to fix them.
I think about this a lot and the world seems more and more like this every day.

46% of Battery Consumption to Transfer 0.2% of Total Bytes
Whenever a user plays a song, the entire music file is streamed by the application from the network in one shot, which is the correct behavior: burst as much data as you can, then turn off the radio for as long as possible.
However, following the music transfer, the application would conduct periodic audience measurements by sending intermittent analytics pings every 60 seconds.
The net effect? The analytics beacons accounted for 0.2% of the total transferred bytes and 46% of the total power consumption of the application!
