Advanced features, huh? All of these "cloud DNS providers" are really proud of all the non-standard fuckery they're capable of doing but AXFR from a server or two that I specify? Nope, sorry, can't do that.

As far as DNS goes, that's the only feature I've been wanting for years now: two large anycasted DNS providers (e.g. Amazon Route 53 and Google Cloud DNS) that can slave off of my hidden masters... but that's apparently too much to ask.

Credit where it's due: Hurricane Electric has been providing that service -- absolutely free -- for years now; cf. https://dns.he.net.
Assurant | Front-end Software Engineer | Milwaukee, WI | Full-time, onsite preferred

We are looking for a creative and professional Front-end Software Engineer. Use your extensive knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to improve the in-browser applications relied upon by mortgage professionals nationwide. You will collaborate closely with Business, Design, and QA to spec, build, test and deploy new features and fixes for our customers.

> "The U.S. Department of Energy will explore whether artificial intelligence could help electric grids handle power fluctuations, avoid failures, resist damage, and recover faster from major storms, cyberattacks, solar flares and other disruptions."

- Power fluctuations are currently handled via AGC and automatic load shed software (Hz control) and a mixture of automatic and operator-controlled capacitors/reactors (Voltage control). I think the current solutions have these problems "handled," but perhaps AI will help utilities better predict when such grid disturbing events are about to occur.

> "GRIP's first year is devoted to anticipating grid problems. Predictive analytics will help identify places where the electric grid is vulnerable to disruption so it can be reinforced, Kiliccote says."

- Predictive analytics is already heavily used. We have Real-Time Contingency Analysis, Security Analysis, and Power Flow.

> "The second year will aim to help grids absorb disruptions. For instance, a grid can be divided into virtual "islands," or micro-grids, that can be isolated to prevent a power disruption from spreading and taking down the entire grid"

- This is already done via selective tripping with the industry standard SEL relays.

> "The third year will focus on helping grids recover from events. 'Ultimately, we'd like to see a grid that can run on its own, an autonomous grid like an autonomous car,' Kiliccote says. 'However, unlike autonomous cars, an autonomous grid will need to be able to handle additional components added to it while it is still running.'"

- I think autonomous grids sound nice, but from a safety perspective, I'm not so sure. I think you'd want to have a lineman patrol the suspect power line before the line is test-energized.

I'd love to hear from those more well-versed in AI about the application of AI for the electric grid.

> A Government Accountability Office report from May said sailors were on duty up to 108 hours each week.

... and people are wondering why accidents happen. If one sailor on the bridge is overworked, there are his fellow sailors to correct the mistakes that are bound to happen, but when the entire bridge is next to collapse from sleep deprivation, that's next to impossible.

I stopped buying the Russia narrative.

You don't have to buy any "narratives". It may be better to simply take stock of the chain of events of what actually happened.

In this case - was there, in fact, something like a high-level, coordinated effort on their part to conduct various covert social media shenanigans (as opposed to open campaigns, like buying ads) in the U.S., for whatever purpose?
Maybe the effort was ultimately futile and wasteful (like the "Illegals Program" a few years back -- but the more important question - was there such an effort?

Available evidence increasingly indicates that, in fact, there was.

How much was spent on these adds, how many hundreds of millions? Oh just $100k.

No idea where you're pulling those numbers from. But the overall scope easily suggest a budget >> $100k.

Did the Chinese buy ads, the French?

Wide-scale social media trolling != "buying ads".

It would seem to me that the Amazon is worth much more than that left intact. Australia's Great Barrier Reef contributes 6.5 billion to the local economy each year through tourism and fishing. The Amazon could potentially be worth much more in tourism value. Not to mention untapped value as a source for undiscovered pharmaceuticals. It also generates 75% of it's own rain - which is critical to the agriculture in the region as well as all these hydroelectric projects.

If greed ends up winning and most of the forest is destroyed, Brazil will find itself without a national treasure, and likely be economically worse off for it.

Show HN: Office Hours – The card deck for startups
Hey HN,

As it's the last day for YC applications I thought I would launch Office Hours Cards.

It's a card deck to help you prepare for an accelerator interview or startup pitch.

It's a side project I've wanted to launch for a while, it's slightly different to most things I've made as it's a physical product!

I'd love to hear if you think this would be useful for your team when preparing for a pitch or if you have any ideas for how it could be marketed direct to accelerators.

I'd definitely like to turn it into a series if there is enough interest!

Thanks!

16 (and more?)-bit 2D ages very well - it's why many 2D games come out even today.

On the topic of "N64 Mini Classic", they will do it. I have a lot of friends who'd buy one just for Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party. The Zelda games are IMO, better on the 3DS (again because of controls), but hold a lot of nostalgia for people.

The problem with the N64 is that some of its most popular games (Goldeneye, Banjo-Kazooie, etc) are owned by Rare which is owned by Microsoft. Will they be able to get the licenses?

Hey!

Every year I spend up to a week or two, researching which ski resort to choose next. I have general idea what I like, what is my skill level. But to choose a resort I need to compare 4 or 5 of them by slopes length, snow conditions, price for lift tickets, price for lodging, is there anything to do besides riding (nightlife, hot springs, sledging), choose convenient and cheap place to stay, find available accomodation), find how to get there comparing all the options (flight, bus, train, shuttle).

So this for season I've built Snow Trips to give me all the info I need to choose next ski resort for my trip.

Snow Trips helps answer questions like:

1) How much will snowboarding trip cost me?
2) What is the price level for lodging? How cheap or expensive lift tickets compared to other resorts I consider?
3) How slopes length compares with other resorts for my skill level
4) Which airport to fly to and for how much?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Is Snow Trips valuable to you if you ski or snowboard? How would you improve it? How do you choose ski resorts?

P.S. European ski resorts with all the flights, lift tickets lodging prices at and around resort are coming in 1-2 weeks.
If I don't have to maintain the thing you can give me any Python, JS or Go you want!
