No, that was because I thought my site was under attack (this was before I learned the story was posted here).
yep, all of that!
Since when did Steam forums require a login?
This kind of problem is also showing up on Quora. Some of the answers I've spotted are so obviously wrong that you can tell a person didn't write them.
I mainly use DDG, and this is part of the reason why.
According to Cloudflare, the site has had around 30k unique visitors in just the first 3 hours since the link was posted here.

It's my site, yes. It's on a VPS which usually has far more resources than required. I really wasn't expecting to get everyone's attention.

That is Cloudflare.

So many people were clicking on the link from here that it inadvertently DDOS-ed my server. I had to turn on the "under attack" feature in Cloudflare just to get the other sites running again.

I've noticed this as well. I now use a different slug or domain for the development page(s), and change it when the page goes live.
Amazon is so bad that I shop on Walmart's website now.
That is my blog post.

I did that with the convention site, yes. It still wasn't getting indexed.

That's my blog post.

The convention site in question had a GA tag, and it was in search console, and I had submitted a sitemap. Search Console knee the site had 9 pages in the sitemap, and had only indexed the homepage.

The other pages weren't rejected, declined or 404ed - they were simply ignored.

Yeah, sorry about that - I didn't realize my story had been posted ehre until just a few minutes ago.

The keyboard app has a filter that blocks certain words from being recognized as speech.
I used to make close to 5 digits in the fall months.
Re:Google deletes artist’s blog, a decade of his work on Monday July 25, 2016 @08:04AM (#12158041)
Bull.

It's the artist's own fault that he didn't make a backup.

I have around 1500. Most are not active, though.

And I wouldn't take the claim seriously that Google Reader was fast with that many feeds; I found that GR struggled with that feeds: http://the-digital-reader.com/2012/11/01/i-broke-google-read...

Very much so, yes.
Yep. Amazon, Kobo, Apple, and Google (55% of the ebook market) all have operations in Germany. They cannot pull out, and nor can the local sellers that account for 40% of the ebook market.
Re:An $800 13.3“ E-ink Monitor on Monday January 26, 2015 @02:11PM (#8948896)
Here's something interesting from CES 2015 a couple weeks back.

Hidden in the back of the E-ink booth at CES 2015 was a USB monitor which added a 13.3" E-ink screen to almost any device. And as you can see in the video, it's pretty fast.

A newly filed patent has revealed that Liquavista, the screen tech company that Amazon bought last year, has a design for a display that layers a color screen on top of a grayscale screen, giving users the option of having color or a high res grayscale screen.
