No, the problem is that the vacuum *doesn't* suck anymore.

I'm curious how much that correlates with age? With age discrimination being a very real thing, and as a just-middle-aged software guy, the thought of some concrete protections for those of us getting up in years is very appealing.

In the middle of the pandemic, yes. So did a lot of the world.

"IAG reported an annual profit of €2.7bn (£2.3bn) after tax, on operating profits of €3.5bn (£3bn), with high fares and premium leisure travel compensating for smaller numbers of business travellers."
But sure, customers need to bear the brunt of the cost to go clean.

"We will only minimize potential impacts through collaborative efforts between government and the private sector."

Right, because all the companies that have been scrambling and remediating this ASAFP needed the government (pick one, any one) to help out?

I mean, we would never see technology where a company isn't forthright with governmental interference and use of their capabilities in order to do sketchy and immoral and illegal things. Never.

I've heard "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and detecting off-by-one errors."

This is the first thing I thought of upon seeing this article.

Having to click 7 times to view all the comments on this page is very annoying. The link at the bottom of the page says "Get N more comments" where N is the total number of comments on the article. Clicking it only returns 5 at a time. This makes it hard to read discussions when you have to continually scroll to the bottom of the page, click a link, scroll back up, continue reading for a little bit, scroll back down, click a link, repeat.

How about fixing the mobile version of the site? Its been broken for months:

- In Safari on my iPhone, going to slashdot.org fetches the 5 most recent stories. At the bottom of the page is a "Many More" link. Clicking it doesn't actually fetch the _next_ 5 oldest. Instead it fetches stories from earlier in the day SORTED IN THE REVERSE ORDER. This makes it very difficult to use the mobile site to catch up on news missed during the day. It wouldn't be so bad if .....

- The "Fullscreen" link at the bottom of the mobile version would actually work. The text says "Change view: Mobile - Fullscreen", leading one to believe that the fullscreen link should take you to the normal version of the site. But clicking it simply reloads the mobile version of the page with the "ss=0" URL parameter.

Single point of failure for a city. Great. Single system to compromise too; should be an attractive target for Bad Guys(tm).

For selfish reasons I am sad to see you go. Slashdot has been a part of my life in a major way over the last 12-13 years. Literally thousands of hours spent on the site.

Thanks for all your work and the great place to hang out. Best wishes to you and your family in the next phase of life.

Does it automatically give me his twitter feed too?
