Yeah, SEO has become hell hole in the last 6 months. Crippled businesses across the board from what I've seen and heard on the grape vine. After 8 years of SEO expertise I honestly can say that there's nothing about SEO these days

VW is setup to do just that with their goliath bank: https://www.vwfs.pl/ - I would imagine this is where the larger brands may come into their own with larger legislation and legality issues. VW provides a whole range of f

I can honestly say that I think it made little to no difference, across the board. The requirements etc have not been fulfilled by most companies, why bother.

This is what cripples most indie hacking projects. The idea that if you build it well enough the customers will come to you. Right now, you need more selling than ever to get found and heard. Put this in perspective, even if you went down t

Because of the original argument being that it's a US incorporated company when in fact it's an EU incorporated too therefore why would a EU based creator pay US based taxes when clearly Google is functioning and registered in the

Hmmm, makes me want to check out Integromat further. I've tried it but have basically stuck with Automate as it's basic but there's enough to automate things. Zapier got a little hectic for some of these tasks too.

You do know that they are incorporated in Dublin too, right alongside all the tech companies - because it's a tax haven. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/explainer-google...

Remote workers will be screwed then. I've worked for companies incorporated in Switzerland and I live in Poland, why on earth would that make sense to pay Swiss tax if I live and work in PL? Also Alphabet is a Delaware incorporated com

Asbestos was being used from the 1800's and I can see that all of a sudden there's plenty of impact that has been caused by it. Fukushima was 10 years ago, come back again in another 10 years time, then another and see what the da

Exactly! I can cite 5+ women here in Poland who I know that all have thyroid related issues. Not blood related to each other but born close to each other. As far as I can tell no one is humping their cousin... My mum died when she was 36 be

Ditto, I have that fine pale, eastern european, 12 hours in front of a screen colour going. Honestly, the lobster jokes were quite funny for me as sometimes I would wear a matching red t-shirt without noticing just how lobster looking I was

Card not present is the bane of the ecommerce world. Which is how most fraud is done but it makes it very easy for banks to recover it.

I've never been robbed for cash. I have had my bank account emptied multiple times though, recently too. When I hand cash over to someone, I know how much is leaving and coming back right then and there. When I fill out a payment form

Yeah, to be fair you are right. It's amazing when you speak to non-tech people about some of the subjects discussed in HN and they honestly wouldn't care or know what anything is about.

I agree here, everyone seems to just be on some rabid rampage talking about the if's, what's and maybe's. I couldn't access my Xbox for 2 months, I got it setup over the weekend. Downloaded 5 new games thanks to Game Pas

OK that makes sense. Could there not be an EV/hydrogen combo that potentially fixes range anxiety or another issue? Besides competition never hurt anyone, batteries will be developed faster, research conducting more often and so on.
