FYI, we at NetToolKit offer 1,000 free queries per day via our development key, and the cost beyond that is very affordable at $10 for 100,000 queries.

The good news is that you can do it for NYC using OpenAddresses data. We published two pieces about how to geocode more generally: https://www.nettoolkit.com/geo/the-basics-of-geocoding https://www.nettoolki

Thanks for your answer and for your suggestions. We'll try to find a place to clarify the privacy policy (we don't do anything externally facing with it, but might use it to track down performance issues), and I like your wording

Adversarial testing -- I like it. Contact me via email (see my profile) and let's see if we can agree on the terms (again, it's more than just solving the puzzle). We would want to set up a proper test bed, and I'll be travel

Maybe. I'm hoping that single sign-on and CAPTCHA are sufficiently different that people won't get confused. Also, the dev team behind this didn't want a generic name, and there are enough products/services out there tha

Yes, thanks for that feedback. We actually do have support for arrow keys, but you have to first click the path to focus on it (made similar comment at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21327738 )

Thanks for the feedback! One thing that is not clear from the demo (and something we should fix) is that you can click on the path CAPTCHA to grant it focus. After that, you can use the arrow keys (although WASD currently does not work).

I understand why it might seem that way. I personally don't think it would be trivial to wire up a working solution (including generating the correct solution strings); if you do, I certainly would welcome you to post your solution.

Yes, the concern is that since browsers interpret the end-user code, if it has knowledge of the walls (required to enforce them), bot networks might be able to use the JavaScript code to figure out the correct solution in an automated fashi

It sounds like you're looking for a crude substitute for a places API ([location + type] yields list of matching results). We don't currently support that, but we would be happy to build that if someone would use the feature (I ha

Someone recently asked us to build an autocomplete feature for maps, which we have done as part of our larger maps offering (geocoding and map tiles). We would love some feedback. Thanks!
