What I have learned today [2015/6/5]

1. There is technology to stop drunk driving by detecting alcohol levels in the car.

2. Best checkout line is a serpentine line, which substantially reduces waiting time.

3. Apple Pay is not taking over other payment systems due to lack of information gathering with the retailer and the equipment cost. And it has no rewards....

I think Apple Pay will offer more rewards and possibly share information with partnered retailers. For now, I will happily invest in credit cards because I see them coming up with their own version of mobile pays soon :D

4. Brains forgets information to make retrieval more efficient.

5. Conferences are most helpful when you network. The content is also useful. But getting inside information is truly valuable. Better improve my networking skills.

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

A beautiful Saturday with a minor headache but cannot complain :D

1. Babies are the true experimenters. Research shows that babies experiment by playing with objects that does not fit their conventional knowledge. They make hypotheses and put the object in their mouth...awwwww

2. McDonald's is not doing well with decreasing sales (increasing competition) and frozen incentive pay. Hmmm...is it time to buy or sell? Well, McDonald's had many crisis and managed to pull through turnarounds including creation of healthier menus and coffee. I would not sell McDonald but I would watch more closely to see how the situation evolves.

3. I have learned that I sort of enjoy classic music but don't know enough to really enjoy it. Time to study and learn :D

4. I have learned that Joseph from Genesis was very wise, never complaining and always relying on God. I have a lot to learn. Less complaining and more praising God ^^
I should really be thankful because my brother never sold me as a slave; I have never been framed; I have never been thrown into jail. Jesus, thank You so much :D
