In Denmark this is possible and common. Danish mortgages can always be bought back at 100% value (if the rate drops), and for example a 2% mortgage from a few years ago can be bought back around 85% value.
This is really interesting. Nothing like it exists in the US as far as I know.
I am ignorant of current and previous Danish mortgage interest rates. Assuming a 2% mortgage from a few years back, and current interest rates at say 6%, I would expect to buy back at less than 85% value.
EDIT: This is actually already mentioned in the README
This seems like the wrong approach to remap keys on Windows. This tool is using a keyboard hook, so it needs to run always for the remapping to work.
Windows already has a way of remapping keys through the registry that will persist over reboots, without re-running the tool. There are many GUI tools for modifying the key-mapping in registry, I use SharpKeys (https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=sharpkeys)
Since the end of the Kosovo war in 1999, the four northern Serb-majority municipalities have not paid Pristina for their energy consumption.
To make up for the shortfall, people from other areas of Kosovo had a percentage added to their bills to pay for the north’s electricity.
In December, the Energy Regulator’s Office announced that electricity bills will be reduced by 3.5 per cent as consumers will no more cover the cost of the four municipalities’ power as they have done for the past 19 years.
Would you believe me if I told you that because of the legal situation (Northern Kosovo does not pay any electricity), there have been tons of crypto mining operations that have sprung up. There are stories of Russians coming all the way to set up warehouses full of mining rigs and generate cryptocurrency using free electricity.
How convenient for Intel - they have been unable to improve significantly on the single threaded performance since the 4790K but with this "fix", newer CPUs will magically start to look better than the old ones..
It’s vulnerable to Spectre even to Variant 2 but they define it as a very low risk what ever that means and only issuing fixes for Variant 1.
It looks like the second variant of Spectre the out of bounds check is the culprit here; if AMD isn’t vulnerable at all it would be great but to me it looks like they are sitting on the fence to wait and see where the exploits go.
This is likely because the gpu has specific hardware for drawing the cursor on top of the current framebuffer, which can be turned off quicker than the character can be drawn to the framebuffer
Interesting that this does not have HBM2 memory. Apparently this will only be for the Tesla GPUs on pascal GPUs unless they are going to put it on the 1080 ti, which does not seem likely when the Titan does not have it.
I don't see this showing up in consumer parts soon. It seems Nvidia can squeeze out GDDR5(X) outside of the HPC space for this generation. Which is good for cost but also reduces the risk in terms of reliability of throwing lots of new technology into a single product.
HPC obviously has different requirement but Nvidia can work with interrogators and customers with less of a backlash when fixing issues in this segment.
… also one of the forthcoming Clang projects is a static-analysis tool (á la `clang-format`) for replacing any `auto` decls with the actual typename, so you can write lazy code without appearing unscrupulous at code reviews
