  • The interest you earn is the bank paying you for borrowing your money. Conversely, the interest you pay for your home loan is you paying the bank for borrowing their* money. (*the bank’s money is actually all the bank’s client’s money)

    The interest the bank wants from you is almost always going to be much higher than the interest they give you for borrowing your money, as they want to make some money as well. Hence it’s almost always more worth it to minimise the amount of money you lose to the bank’s interest than you gain from your interest.

    Hypothetically if you had 400k in savings at 3% and had a 400k loan from the bank at 6%, it’s obvious that the interest you get from the bank will be less than the interest the bank is getting from you. But the trick here is that your 3% is less than that due to tax since it’s money gained, but the 6% is the same since it’s money owed. So it’s more effective to avoid being charged interest from a tax point of view as well.

    Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Zombie survival roguelike, forked from the original cataclysm by whales. Also check out Cataclysm: Bright Nights which is a fork of CDDA that makes it more gamey like the original, and less like you’re playing 2d arma.


  • Sunshine and moonlight are open source implementations of nvidia’s game streaming protocol they created for the nvidia shield. You can use it to remotely use your computer from your phone, not just for games. But of course the primary application is game streaming. As long as the game can run on the host (sunshine) computer, you can remotely play it on the client (moonlight) device. I’ve used it to just launch steam in big picture mode and then select what I want from steam.
