What I haved learned today [2015/5/16]


1. Sriracha is made in CA by Huy Fong. Siracha sales has increased every year for 30 years. And there is a supply risk because Siracha only buys from one supplier.

2. Sriracha was originally created in Thailand and it's called Siraja. For a short documentary of Sriracha, please see  Sirracha on Amazon Prime.



3. Chinese hackers have been hacking US universities that do research for the US government. Wow...really?! We have to draw a line somewhere. You can't just attack anywhere you want just because you can. This really shows that we really have to increase the cybersecurity and also have more ethics. If they are willing to hack schools what else are they doing?!

4. There are not many pension papers than I expected...hmmm

5.  The war on drugs has perverted the cop's incentives as they could fill their arrest quotas more easily by booking people on drug charges rather than investigating crimes. As a result, other crimes such as burglary, theft, and fraud are less likely to be investigated, leading to increase in these types of crimes. 

6. Some hedge funds keep changing names...hmmm...I wonder why? Should investigate this phenomenon

7. Times goes by fast when you enjoy your coffee in the morning :(
