What I have learned today [2015/7/7]


1. World's best selling drinks are whiskey, vodka, and Liquer. Whiskey is understandable given it is highly priced but liquer. Diageo owns Johnnie Walker and Smiroff.

2. Trash pick up Uber will definitely transform the recycling and waste business. With demand pick up, we will have less waste, cleaner streets, and happier people. We really need this as soon as possible with all the trashed furniture in LA.

3. 1 out of 3000 junior mining companies go from early stage exploration to production,

4. In 2014, consumers spent 5 billion on digital gift cards and online gift card sales are growing at 29% a year.

5. Every dollar lost online due to fraud can cost $3 to the retailer. We need to increase digital security because it is easier to commit fraud and harder to catch. Also, consumers should be wary and report immediately if they see anything suspicious.

6. Netflix is releasing its own movies. Yup, it's the battle of the contents in media. I expect more original and high quality series and movies from Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix. I hope people don't do too much binge watching.
