They make money off ads (based strictly on the search terms) so they should be just fine. If you'd like to chip, you can donate to the various privacy initiatives they support here: https://www.crowdrise.com/duckduckgop

I'm a big fan of micro-saas services like this. I was going to ask how this is different from <insert-service-here> but I realized that I couldn't think of a service that made it this simple. Kudos!

It seems Beyerle (our university IT guy) was able to acquire a local license for a seemingly fair $12k after getting a discount from the FCC no less. "About 20 years ago, Beyerle was the winning bidder for one of 14 licenses in a high

My favorite is when I have to watch an ad before watching an ad. Every so often I'll come across a funny ad that I want to rewatch it on Youtube. More often than not I find myself having to sit through another ad (sometimes even a comp

Thanks for sharing Plotly. I'd recommend pointing out the Plotly features you'd like to improve and seeing if the Muze team has solutions/improvements.

Thanks for sharing this, I really like the site a lot. I was impressed by the variety of search criteria. How do you reliably gather such disparate pieces of information?

For anyone that was as curious as I was: WHERE DO THESE PHOTOS COME FROM? During the mid-1980s, the City of New York photographed every property in the five boroughs. The project had a bureaucratic origin: the photos were used by the Depart
