Ask HN: What are some good sources of data that most people don't know about?

3 pointsby JacobAldridgeabout 3 years ago
I remember my first job in a real estate agency in 2000 - if you&#x27;d told me that one day we could hover over a map and see house sale prices and an automated valuation, I wouldn&#x27;t have believed you.<p>Plenty of organisations, associations, and government departments publish great data in secret - sometimes just without the fanfare it warrants, and sometimes surreptitiously because they are required to even if they don&#x27;t want to publish.<p>What are some of the meaningful or cool data sources you&#x27;ve used or uncovered in the past?

I think most people know about it, but I just learned about it recently: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datasetsearch.research.google.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;datasetsearch.research.google.com&#x2F;</a>
