Digg did charge a $5 fee (which they donated) for the beta.

Beta users got 2 invites when it just went live. Not sure if they have a date planned for new users yet.

Are you visiting not from Chrome?

There is also `g.page` which they have suspended: https://support.google.com/business/answer/9273900?hl=en-GB
Just chuck Google Adsense on your page and Googlebot will get on there ASAP to start selling ads.

This is cool. Can you make a shareable URL with filters included?

Price just got jacked, again.
I got a few of these .shop domain names terminated previously.

Just reach out to the domain registrar and they have been pretty helpful. Their abuse email will be on the WHOIS (e.g. `[email protected]`).

One registrar just deleted it for me.

Another wanted this information which I'm sure you could easily whip up if one of those sites affected you:

* Screen capture (Please include the reported url in the screen capture) * Trademark IP document * Letter of Authorization (LOA)

Except Google blocks you from logging in to your own account even if you can receive the forwarded emails elsewhere.

The search is awful. I search for exact things which I typed yesterday, and it recommends stuff in archived channels from staff that left 5 years ago.

Fair. Lots of massive sites are talking about it (https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/14/23831109/the-new-york-tim...), but not many actioning it yet.

100% not. I have a bunch of Google Accounts (not even with a Gmail inbox attached) that just forward on email alerts from Google Ads, etc. And have been getting these update emails since July 14th.

Re:Ask HN: What's your residential Internet speed and cost? on Saturday April 15, 2023 @06:46PM (#35585406)
Also Australia.

Getting 790/50 Mbps for ~USD$100 (paying for 1000/50).

Our 'NBN' is luck of the draw with which type of connection your street has, and then dependent on what state your 30+ year old underground copper is in.

Re:How I Ruined My SEO on Sunday January 15, 2023 @05:13PM (#34394152)
It's your redirects causing duplicate content and/or indexing issues.

Google's index of your old site (excluding tags): https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ablog.johnnyreilly.com...

Shows your blog posts were indexed with no trailing slash: https://blog.johnnyreilly.com/page/155

Your current 301 sends this to: https://johnnyreilly.com/page/155

Which doesn't have a canonical tag, or 301 redirect, to the correct blog post: https://johnnyreilly.com/2017/05/20/typescript-spare-rod-spo...

Once that's fixed, I would also jump into GSC and run their Change of Address tool (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9370220?hl=en).

LMK if you need a hand with this.

Re:How I Ruined My SEO on Sunday January 15, 2023 @05:03PM (#34394043)
This is definitely not a thing.
Re:How I Ruined My SEO on Sunday January 15, 2023 @04:47PM (#34393868)
Whilst it still should be fixed, Google isn't tanking a site for its PageSpeed score.

Great site. Would be cool to pull your Airtable data into Gatsby and render it on your site!

Re:Ask HN: Gmail account security on Sunday January 23, 2022 @11:14PM (#30053665)
I actually found the solution to this last time I had it. I get it all the time on legacy G Suite accounts that are still hanging around that I never log in to.

I think it's this link: https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery (don't go through the usual forgot email/password process on the login page or you get that stupid AI loop).

I think it helps to use Google Chrome too.

I have no issues paying for email hosting with Google (and already do on some domains), but how are people dealing with shared company email addresses with access to things like Google Analytics, Google My Business, etc.?

If that shared email address is [email protected], and Google suspends that Google account on July 1st, how are you supposed to disconnect it from G Suite and sign it up as a free Google account (no Gmail)?

What country are you from? The Premier in the video has been anti-lockdown for the entire pandemic. And now you're claiming they are power hungry for more lockdowns? Sorry but you clearly have no context what is going on here.
I assume it’s done with services that have user data, you can then collate the surname + emails, and create a separate remarketing list per surname. Then you target that list with your surname-specific ads.
Re:Ask HN: The most useful Mac keyboard shortcuts? on Monday August 05, 2019 @10:23PM (#20621517)
Spectacle (https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle#keyboard-shortcuts) will change your life with better/faster window management.

And Karabiner Elements (https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements) to remap keys to something more useful (who uses Caps Lock anymore?)

What if you accidentally cast your coding session to your Twitch stream?
