   Can you be more specific as to what you mean/want in this area?

   Thank you all! (I'm the founder.) In response to a lot of the comments here, please know that two major things we're working on are better programming queries ( https://duckduckgo.com/tech.html -- one of my new favorites https://duckduckg

   Yes indeed. There are several limiting factors, but we're always looking to un/de limit them.

   I'm honestly not sure, but I imagine we're not that fast there. We have some servers in Singapore, and I imagine you'd be hitting those, but can tell from the IP you resolve for duckduckgo.

   Our speed varies a decent amount by network location, and it is mainly server side. We are aware of and are actively trying to speed it up across the world, however.

   Thanks, fixed, but this project is dead. It just serves as an archive for the interviews.

   I was certainly in a great situation. However, we weren't living off any more than my wife's salary (including any DDG investments), so I would say the answer was yes.

    Yes, I feel like an idiot now for just buying a bunch of reserved instances. By my calculations if you just bought a reserved instance you'd actually save money by rebuying it if you plan to run it heavily over the three year period!

    It can be really simple. Ex 1: I see you invested in X, which is similar to what I'm doing for this reason, and so I'd love to get your insight. Ex 2: I read your post on X; we're having this issue now and I'd love to get your insight on th

    It's a bit more subtle than that. I have time for people past this initial stage, and lots of time for angel investments. But I don't have time to engage fully with everyone who emails me. I simply get too much email and have too much to do

    Who said anything about reading every post? There is a search box. If you are asking a specific question to me I would expect at least a cursory search to see if I have written on that topic.

    For the record, I don't own an iPhone and don't have a Pinterest account either (though I'm guessing you were being snarky there). However, at the seed stage you're investing in people and a quick way to start finding out about people is th

    I'm not seeing that result set at all. Do you have a region set? I'd appreciate emailing me a screen shot if you don't mind at yegg@duckduckgo.com Btw, we index SO ourselves, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nginx+apache We just have a high

    We would appreciate any specific examples at https://duckduckgo.com/feedback.html -- it's a great way to improve! But higher level, !g roughly accounted for 1% of queries yesterday, which also includes all the cases where we ran out of re

    Hey, please email me at yegg@duckduckgo.com if you don't mind -- I'm the founder. I'm interested why you're so negative on us. Here are our real traffic #s btw: https://duckduckgo.com/traffic.html

    I get consistent feedback that it is confusing people.

    Backstory: https://duck.co/topic/duck-com-redirects-to-google tl;dr no reason (IMHO) it should point to Google search -- it's just confusing people.

    I recall that the SSL wikipedia link didn't work right on some mobile browsers, but maybe that is fixed now as they've changed the way that is all set up.

    We're looking into different providers, but right now that is coming through BOSS, though you're right that is MSN on the backend.

    Thanks Matt. I removed that block while I investigate, and will report back when I know more. It's obviously not our intention to leak any search results through us. Edit: still reviewing to make sure, but it appears that it isn't sending t
