New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Is all of FAANG like this?

Ask HN: Is all of FAANG like this? 494 by faang0722 | 372 comments on Hacker News. This last year I finally landed a SDE job at a FAANG company! However, I'm considering quitting because I am not happy. The good: I get paid better than my last jobs. I can browse internal resources to satisfy my curiosity about how things work. The bad: Basically no work gets done and there's no motivation to do any. The dev tools, docs and tech debt impart such a slow iteration speed that even when I am working a full 8 hours, only a few very small changes get done, yet somehow this is even more than most of the rest of my team can muster during an entire week. Because of this, I normally work about one day trickle out my changes during the the week. The other days I only open my computer for standup and if I get an IM.

New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: Google drops blogspot.in, breaking hundreds of thousands of permalinks

Tell HN: Google drops blogspot.in, breaking hundreds of thousands of permalinks 416 by sairamkunala | 185 comments on Hacker News. When searched within India, Google's Blogspot points to username.blogspot.in as opposed to username.blogspot.com (also in search engines). Most permalinks users use to share are country specific which also reflect on Google Search. Looks like blogspot.in was picked up by a non Google entity. Domain Name: blogspot.in Registry Domain ID: DE2DC9C0E8E694C28ADEF0F444F121B45-IN Registrar WHOIS Server: Registrar URL: www.domainming.com Updated Date: 2020-06-29T20:00:06Z Creation Date: 2020-06-24T20:00:05Z Registry Expiry Date: 2021-06-24T20:00:05Z Domain Status: inactive https://ift.tt/1YHbQxf There is a ceritificate for the blogspot.in along with other blogspot.* domains. Would they end up revoking all the certificates if challenged? https://ift.tt/3gzxjWr

New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: Airbnb now opts in your name and photo to data sharing

Tell HN: Airbnb now opts in your name and photo to data sharing 374 by zschuessler | 94 comments on Hacker News. I received an email today indicating AirBnb will now automatically opt-in user's photo and first name in order to fight discrimination via their "Project Lighthouse" There is no public content about this change, but if you are logged in you can view this page and opt out: https://ift.tt/3eX0h2b... Project Lighthouse If you leave this setting turned on, you’re helping us identify and prevent discrimination from happening on Airbnb—and you’re taking part in an initiative to better understand how and where discrimination happens on platforms like ours. If you turn this setting off, we won’t use your information, and we’ll remove it from future studies. You can change your mind at any time. The bit about being opted in was hidden towards the bottom of the email. Feels wrong.
