Ask HN: Why doesn't GitHub use the free impressions to sell ads?
Github is getting a huge number of requests to execute javascript on host pages. Injecting an advertisement for Chinese reading expats seems like a fantastic use of that traffic. It both helps defray the cost of bandwidth, and also discourages that type of attack.

I don't know what headers they're receiving, but i'd guess the search terms are included. How much would you pay for complete control of 0.01% of google's search results?

Heartbleed is not alone. It just got a lot of publicity. There are many other vulnerable open-source components that may already be embedded in the software you are developing and distributing. In fact, our research on 3,000 real software projects that were loaded by our customers has shown that 24% of them contain open source components with known security vulnerability.

Show HN: Simple and self-hosted URL shortener
https://github.com/HoangTuan110/flyurl
Hi HN!

For the past 3 days, I have been actively working on a URL shortener called FlyURL. It started as a project to help me learn Python and Flask, but now has grown into a pretty big project.

Some main differences between FlyURL and other self-hosted URL shorteners (like Pckd[0] or Shlink[1]):

- FlyURL is ONLY compatible with SQLite (Unlike Pckd)

- FlyURL has NO API or CLI (Unlike Shlink)

- FlyURL has really basic tracking (Only by clicks), while Pckd and Shlink features more robust tracking (This is something on working)

- FlyURL has a clean and basic UI (Influenced by is.gd[2], and thanks to Lit[3])
- FlyURL requires NO logins (Influenced by chilp.it[6])

- FlyURL uses blacklist from Steven Black's hosts[4] and its in-house URL shortener service list[5] to block harmful websites and prevent creating a "chain" of URLs (Influenced by is.gd) (I'm not sure if Pckd or Shlink do the same, but it's likely they do)

- FlyURL is built with Python and Flask (Shlink is built with PHP, and Pckd is built with React)

If you want a URL shortener that just works, then FlyURL may fit for you. If you want more features and more robust, then Shlink and Pckd are better choices.

Show HN: A handy color picker for programmers and web designers
https://beadslang.com/projects/colorchart/colorchart.html
This is a handy dandy color picker utility program, written as a web app. It is designed for laptop/desktop use, doesn't fit on a mobile device.

You can select a starting color by either selecting from one of the named web colors, or one of the 700 Mark Ferrari superstar pixel artist color swatches, then you can explore nearby colors which are arranged in a novel hexagonal grid that lets you explore in 12 different directions at once.

When you select a color, it copies the color name to the clipboard so you can paste it into what you are working on. There are multiple output formats you can choose from, like web hex #AABBCC, or rgb(1,2,3) for example.

Free. The 1400 lines of code is posted on GitHub, if you are curious as to how it was made. There are some clever tricks in the code regarding how to sort colors properly.

Ask HN: How do I get started in cell phone repair?
I'm a sysadmin at a medium-sized company. Blackberries are VERY popular here; both company-owned and personal phones. There's always something wrong with them, and let's just say I smell an opportunity...

So how do I get started? Any recommended blogs, books or courses? Any obvious caveats and gotchas? Any war stories?

Thanks.

--EDIT--
I should have added that I'm from Jamaica. The carriers do sell Blackberry's, so company owned phones would be under warranty. However, many people acquire their personal pones from the grey market, or as a gift from someone overseas, so there's no warranty. And I do happen to know of quite a few people who make decent money in phone repair.

Education’s Ongoing Problem With Boys 
http://www.artifactsteach.com/
With over three-fourths of teachers being female, it’s no wonder that the education system seems to favor girls. Boys are twice as likely to be suspended from school for such things as pretending to be cops and robbers. Schoolyard roughhousing and fights that used to result in phone calls to parents now end up in exclusion from school – sometimes permanently, sometimes with juvenile criminal records. In a female dominated system, boys are at a disadvantage for being boys.

Three times as many boys as girls receive special education services for perceived disabilities, yet the scores on standardized tests by age 16 give the edge to boys. New tools for teaching that engage boys in learning need to be included in teacher lesson plans. A lesson plan format that include online tools for teaching like Artifacts Teach, which uses objects to inspire curiosity and authentic inquiry, can bring boys back into the fold. Adding some competition to a lesson plan template, or adding lesson plans that include open-ended questions with no clear answers would better engage boys.

MOOS Project Viewer 2.4 – A New Microsoft Project Viewer Version Available
http://www.moosprojectviewer.com/pressrelease/Microsoft-Project-viewer-in-french-language.php
Stand By Soft is pleased to announce the release of MOOS Project Viewer in French language. Besides this major change some other features were added like support for estimated task durations, more columns for tasks and support for MS Project 2007 .mpp files that were obtained by converting them from Microsoft Project 2010.

Here are the most important changes added to this version:

Added French translation
Added support for estimated task duration values
Added more columns for tasks including baselines
Support for 2010 to 2007 .mpp files conversion

MOOS Project Viewer is a cost saving solution for project stakeholders to view project details in a dynamic way and not just using static reports. By adding French language support the developers from Stand By Soft hope to better serve French users needs to view Microsoft Project files.

Estimated values for tasks duration is an important indicator regarding the status of the project. It helps project managers to easily see which tasks are still not a certain fact and which are well established. This is possible to be seen now with the current version of MOOS Project Viewer.

All tasks columns that are available in Microsoft Project 2010 are now also available in MOOS Project Viewer. This includes columns like baselines and all corresponding data (start date, finish date, duration, work, cost). This way users can see them not only on the Gantt chart but also in more detail on the table.

Certain problems where solved related to MS Project 2007 .mpp files that where generated by exporting them from Microsoft Project 2010. Companies that have purchased both version of Microsoft Project – 2007 and 2010 – and that are using just 2007 files for compatibility reasons will now be able to correctly view them.

MOOS Project Viewer allows you to open, view and print mpp files and it is running on any Java enabled platform including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

It is available at http://www.moosprojectviewer.com and can be downloaded from http://www.moosprojectviewer.com/download.php.

Stand By Soft develops software specialized for the project management area. Its main product RationalPlan is a project management software that follows the general recommended guidelines from project management domain. It has been developed to help small and middle sized companies to plan and manage their projects.

Could you survive Germanwings 4u9525 by jumping out?
Would it at all be possible to survive Germanwings 4u9525 by opening the door and jumping out at the optimal* point of its decent?

Some things to consider:

1) If a passenger had a parachute, does this make a difference?

2) What would be the best altitude for jumping out? I presume above a certain height the air pressure inside the cabin would be too great relative to the outside pressure to actually open the door.

3) The wind speeds going across the door would be 700km/h. Can a human even jump into such a force without being torn into pieces?

4) Obviously without a parachute, the best we can hope for is slowing down from 700km/h to terminal velocity. Some people have survived terminal velocity falls so this might be worthwhile.

5) Any other scenarios I have not considered?

*Not sure what the optimal would be, if any.

An operation of this scale, says plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company, has never been attempted before, and is fraught with danger."
