God is fair
God is fair. If your CAG (genetic C,A,G letters) repeat in DNA segment is more (average is 17), you are smarter. However, if your CAG repeat number is more than 35, you are at the risk of developing Huntington's. Faustian bargain has never been free. http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21645713-could-key-evolution-human-brain-be-found-dreadful

garbled patent disclosure
I start to wonder how solid the engineering background that patent lawyers have. Today, I need to change at least one-third of the patent disclosure. Lawyers may be versed in legalese but do not seem to have any obvious electrical engineering background. Probably IC designers have no motivation to become patent lawyers.

carcinogen-carrying floor panels in many US households
CBS 60-Minutes has an alarming episode tonight, the laminated floor panels in many households made by Lumber Liquidators contain formaldehyde (甲醛), a carcinogen. It seems like Lumber Liquidators only has sales channels in US and none in Taiwan. All these carcinogen-carrying floor panels were made in China to "save cost".
Income equality in public transit system
If you are poor, you pay less when taking bus or train. That is the benefit enjoyed by the poor residents in King County in Seattle starting from today. One of the approaches to battle income inequality? http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/01/us/targeting-inequality-this-time-on-public-transit.html

Product Hunt
台灣似乎也應該有像 producthunt.com 的這種網站(成立才一年,但似乎已經很轟動), 可以結合投資者和創新者。 這個網站每天將有一點點價值的創新產品，公佈在他們的網站，由經過初步篩選的人來評價，而且也讓投資者和創新者能夠有交流的機會，並且也讓創新者能夠為自己的產品辯護。 這個網站似乎有點公信力，因為禮拜二的Pebble Time已有765個人說讚，而且在同一天的 Kickstarter，Pebble Time創新 Kickstarter 的紀錄, 在49分鐘之內籌到100萬美金. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-17/why-startups-want-this-28-year-old-to-really-like-them
