What I have learned today [2015/6/10]

1. FIFA pays more than hedge fund. Wow...really...We really need to demand reforms in FIFA. Thank You USA for helping bringing it down.

2. Benz is the most popular car featured in raps. They have Tesla but no Prius. Thought it was funny.

3. Microsoft's Surface is cool and will likely raise productivity. Just amazing to see Microsoft getting back in the game.

4. Mold produces various pigment to protect itself? Well, we actually don't know yet. Just interesting. We really need more research.

5. Anomalies in the market come and go as investor exploit the inefficiency but then abandon after the strategy is not so profitable. In essence, always leave when things are hot and come back when it comes down. Yup, be a contrarian.

What I have learned today [2015/5/30-2015/6/1]

1. Elevate, learning app, is really awesome. Quite well made.

2. Homeland Security's security tests showed that 95% of weapons and explosives were not detected by TSA.

3. US Coal mine industry has collapsed due to cheaper energy. This may be a good buying opportunity because 40% of US energy comes from coal.

4. New species are found everyday due to advances in technology and better surveys.

5. Tampons around in Europe since 18th and 19th century. The quest for a more effective tampon is still ongoing.

6. FCC is proposing to pay broadband for the poor.This is a good idea because faster internet will hopefully help the poor get information that they need and help them leverage the power of internet. In addition, I believe that those who get the subsidy from the government should receive some internet education that could help them.

7. KPMG audited FIFA, I expect to see find some  audit failures. We really need to raise the bar for auditing.
