> Table: Thanks! You're saying they're good as is, right?

Yeah, the table on each detail page looks great! Even better would be a big grid where I can compare key stats on each knife available.

> Bevels: Great point. I haven't yet listed any single-bevels so it hadn't crossed my mind.

Fascinating. This (http://is.gd/oDMHoQ) image on the Tanaka 165 Nakiri and this (http://is.gd/GalOBk) image on the Shigehiro 135 Petti looked single-ground, or at least asymmetrical. Bad camera angle, maybe? I would have bought them thinking they were wa-/kataba-style!

> They will primarily be categorically separate, but would a line inclusion on the tables suffice?

I would go so far as to say it needs to be in the item title or listings should be tagged with an icon. Experienced cooks use them very differently, and neophytes stand to learn a lot about the differences by way of the distinction. Could also hide them in a totally different category.

> Guarantee: You're right. I wasn't explicit here, partially to clip abuse. I realize that it might seem slightly self-protective, but I do want to instill confidence that I do guarantee full satisfaction from what we offer. I'm concerned about being too explicit because I don't want to offer a time cutoff nor can I say that if you decide you don't quite like a knife in five years that I'm liable for it. There are many potential scenarios, in most of which I'd pay the shipping, but how many do I list? If you've got suggestions for what would make you feel more comfortable, I'd love to hear them.

Yeah, this is tricky. My only concern was chipping/tipping a knife within the first several uses, due to a brittle spot in the original manufacture. I'll admit it is a tricky grey area, because someone might drop a brand new blade and tip it that way, and it would be hard to tell if it was a defect or not. :(

> Petty: I'm not sure what you mean by this?

http://www.buttermilksupply.com/browse/knives/petty/ - I'm used to seeing ぺティ romanised as "petti", not "petty". Just threw me for a loop.

Overall, though, love the site. Will definitely look your way this fall when I go after my next purchase (probably a honesuki or 170mm mukimono / usuba-with-a-kansai-tip).
Is it HIPAA compliant?
Agree. I'm having a hard time to see how this is Chrome's fault. All discussion i've seen indicate that wordpress and woocommerce treat the HTTPS header in special (and non-standard) ways
I'm posting this from an X60 that runs gNewSense. I removed the wifi card to reduce the heat on the palm rest and to increase the friction to spending time on the Web instead of writing. I use a netgear USB wifi adaptor for when I want to use a connection.

I'm reading the page at

and wondering how hard it would be to put coreboot on this. I'm also wondering about suspend, the BIOS settings (ability to switch a core off and change power profiles &c). It would also be really cool to have a QR code display when the laptop boots.

23 Lessons Learned from Interviewing the World's Top Developers
He's talking about a client not supporting HTTPS.

A client may have reasons to prefer HTTP over HTTPS: perfs, plaintext for debug, etc. It's hard to assume that "HTTPS should be the default" in any circumstance.

I'm not sure the wordpress sites are to blame here (for once): SSL isn't free to deploy (yet).
Hm, shouldn't apache be ensuring that clients _can't_ set the flag that indicates "this is an HTTPS request"?

Otherwise app code that's _checking_ the flag, to ensure that a sensitive URL is only being accessed via HTTPS can be spoofed by the client simply saying it's HTTPS when it's not. That doesn't seem right.

If that's what's going on, it seems like a bug in apache, with security consequences.

what about... if we dedicate at least half of the effort/cash to get people on effin' mars into making sure earth will be hospitable for next hundreds of years? I don't get this childish screaming how earth is doomed... if you travel a bit around the world, you'll see a very, very different picture, there is still amazing amount of unspoilt potential.

some random examples, applicable mostly to 3rd world countries - usage of crazy poisons for gold/other metals/minerals mining & processing. another thing is providing alternative fuel sources, so vast pieces of forests are not cut down. limits on fishing, and ban of "dragging nets on the floor and sweeping parts of ocean clean". and I could go on and on, i am sure everybody can come up with some useful stuff.

I am all for space exploration, being in open space is my lifetime dream, but let's stop being emotional for a bit and use our heads. focus on biggest problems, their causes, tackle that. even partial success will have massive impacts. and in parallel, let's explore in current ways, improving our technologies one step after another. Once we can send a manned ship on a budget that won't ruin an average country, let's go for it. Anyway, putting few people on our inhospitable neighbor ASAP won't save humanity from extinction...

I find it difficult to imagine we can damage the Earth to such a degree that is is easier to try and settle Mars than undo the damage on Earth.

I want manned outposts on Mars as the next person. I like to think that the challenge of doing it is enough justification to undertake such an endeavour.

They were crawling the web for mp3s the same way that Google does. Though admittedly Google hides the mp3s much better nowadays then they used to. And the web is way more balkanized into all these corporate walled gardens so there are fewer free roaming mp3s on random websites as there used to be. But technically it was a search engine the same as Google.

It always bothers me that this area of the law seems to be entirely based on judges' interpretation of the purpose of a UI. A UI is illegal if it guides the user towards the illegal action. If it is possible to perform the illegal action but the user has to put in a little thought into how to accomplish it then the UI is legal. Google can't have a file-type search box with an mp3 option but if users know the right incantation they can achieve the same thing. So we have lawyers telling us how we can build UIs. It seems wrong and like a dangerous slippery slope.

The Bitcoin "protocol" (for reasoning on the scare quotes search HN for me and that word) allows blocks to get up to 1 MB in size, currently. A block is mined once every ten minutes. The smallest transaction legal in the protocol is ~224 bytes. You can do the math from here.

There's a contentious proposal in the community right now to raise the block size and hence the implicit maximum TPS of the network. Why is that contentious? Oh boy, long story.

> I don't think there's a person here who wouldn't like ubiquitous solar power!

I wouldn't say I don't want it, but it's a toss-up at the moment whether solar in the long term will be safer than nuclear.

Rooftop solar kills far more than nuclear per unit of energy thanks to installation accidents (put lots of people on roofs => some proportion falls off and dies)

Larger solar plants may turn out to be safe enough, but they too have accidents from everything like mining the sand and other components for the photovoltaics to installation accidents and accidents during maintenance.

We'll see whether or not as volume ramps up that rate remains low enough to be "competitive" with nuclear.

The blockchain generates one new block roughly every 10 minutes.

Each block is currently limited to around 1MB (but for lots of reasons, the blocks might be smaller)

Each transaction in a block takes up some amount of space. Depending on the number of inputs and outputs, a transaction can vary in size from around 200 bytes to several kilobytes.

Assuming a 1024kb block and (say) 256 bytes per transaction, that's 4096 transactions every 600 seconds, or roughly 7 a second.

Simply because you have to in order to survive. On earth resources have often been seen as abundant and even though we know oil is running out we still undertake inefficient journeys in cars with a single person in because running out is sometime in the future. If you build on the moon it has to be sustainable from the outset, it isnt something you can set as a future goal because you need it to survive day one.

" If I could compile and debug kernel issues along with X11 X86Config files with assistance from a good friend at the QNX-based Caprica Internet in LA and the 2-person Slackware “helpdesk” on the East Coast every few days then I’d be able to continue to test NCSA webserver over SLIP and PPP to deliver electronic faxes with a web interface for the Mosaic Browser for a sugar company in Marin County to save them a few thousand a month in fax fees to China. "

EDIT: For clarification for those disposed to downvote, looking through an XF86 config file is not rocket science.

Political correctness is the oppression of our intellectual movement so no one says anything anymore just in case anyone else gets offended. What happens if you say that and someone gets offended? Well they can be offended, can’t they? What’s wrong with being offended? When did stick and stones may break my bones stop being relevant? Isn’t that what you teach children? He called me an idiot! Don’t worry about it, he’s a dick.

Now you have adults going “I was offended, I was offended and I have rights!” Well so what, be offended, nothing happens. You’re an adult, grow up, and deal with it. I was offended! Well, I don’t care! Nothing happens when you’re offended. “I went to the comedy show and the comedian said something about the lord, and I was offended, and when I woke up in the morning, I had leprosy."

Nothing Happens! “I want to live in a democracy but I never want to be offended again.” Well, then you’re an idiot.

How do you make a law about offending people? How do you make it an offense to offend people? Being offended is subjective. It has everything to do with you as an individual or a collective, or a group or a society or a community. Your moral conditioning, your religious beliefs. What offends me may not offend you. And you want to make laws about this? I’m offended when I see boy bands for god sake.

It’s a valid offense, I’m offended. They’re cooperate shills, posing as musicians to further a modeling career and frankly I’m disgusted.

It's Chrome fault to use push for a new standardized header without properly checking its impact: the issue has been raised during the beta phase, but they underestimated it and did not rollback.

I believe it is known that some old reverse-proxies used this header before a standard solution emerged (X-forwarded-proto), Wordpress probably had to deal with this surprising behavior at some point.

Also, by naming a header "HTTPS", one could expect collision with a non-standard behavior: this is very common with HTTP/1.1.
The current title of this post (”Chrome 44 breaks any wordpress site not able to serve in HTTPS”) seems exaggerated.

This issue does not render all non-HTTPS WP sites useless. I tried on a friend’s site and it served fine in Chrome version 44.0.2403.89.

After skimming the bug report it seems to mostly affect the login functionality and not the user-facing parts of WP. Still problematic but less severe than what it sounds like.

I haven't done web development for a while, but here's how I imagine the frontend server should behave.

Let's say you configure your frontend server to set X-Foo and X-Bar fields. First, it should always send a header to the application indicating that it's messing with X-Foo and X-Bar, say "X-Added-By-My-Webserver: X-Foo, X-Bar". That way, the application can be sure that the frontend server is properly configured. Next, it should strip any X-Foo, X-Bar, and X-Added-By-My-Webserver, to prevent the client from being able to confuse the application with information the application expects to receive from the server.

This is still flaky because the frontend server could fail, and the user could send X-Added-By-My-Webserver, and so on, but if you must use in-band signalling, this seems like the safe route. Just blissfully adding a header is not enough to protect against evil or changing user agents.

Furthermore, it seems like a bad idea to make up your own header and not use an X- prefix.
It may be a bit of a liberal reading of it but doesn't the database that the patent is stored in on that page violate the patent? It certainly has date stamped data which is ingested and query-able...
