What I have learned today [2015/4/17]


1. Crickets not the magic bullet for food safety. There are some tweaks needed for optimal production of crickets as protein sources. I am not so surprised because nothing is really perfect and requires constant improvement.


2. You can die from a broken heart. Rush of stress hormones can shock the heart. The immune system suffers. Wow...better guard my heart...


3, Music has different effect on different people when sleeping. Yup, nothing is a one size fits all solution. Need to experiment with yourself. I like listening to slow and low praise songs before sleeping.


4. Venezuela and Iran heavily subsidize oil prices to win political support. Excessive subsidies are never a good idea because it creates inefficient consumption (e.g. waste) and high opportunity costs (money that could be on education). Well, given the historical low oil prices, it does make sense to slowly decrease the subsidies for a better future.


5.  George Soros' investing styles include  investing in markets that there are disruptions and exploiting politics. Well, it makes sense but in market disruptions, you really don't know what is going on. Often even experts are wrong. Also, exploiting politics? Hmmm...not my cup of tea.
