There is much that isn't indexed here. "718" yields less than 4,000 hits, which seems very low. There are many old buildings in Brooklyn that still sport "fallout shelter" signs, but ATiB returns only 13 results for that term, with many duplicate images. Here's an example of a missing result, probably one of thousands: https://maps.app.goo.gl/AdsYFzf7MAZoo4Vc8


Are there any statistics about this? In my southern Brooklyn neighborhood, which is on the cutting edge of approximately nothing, the laundry rooms in all three apartment buildings I've lived in converted from coin payments to stored-value cards in the mid-2000s.


Before they switched to cards, did they have a coin change machine?

My own building was only built in the 2000s and has a single coin operated machine. It was also fairly cheap. I suspect that many conversions are funded and operated by an outside vendor.


There's no link to it at the bottom of the homepage, but they do have a feed: http://www.datatau.com/rss

What about DeadDrop? The New Yorker's Strongbox seems to be working out just fine for them.


It's flawed. Google claims a Bacon number of > 1 for Johnny Carson, Rosie O'Donnell and Jay Leno, but he sat for interviews on their talk shows. Also, the results for some musicians include recorded-footage appearances in movies where they had no interaction with the cast.


Still seems to be just a rather clear distinction between being in a movie or not being in a movie, regardless of significance of the part or role played. To me this doesn't seem like a flaw.


The historical maps don't take reapportionment into account. For example, if you select "2008: Obama vs McCain," it shows Texas with 38 electoral votes, but it had only 34 back then. Also, Reagan's name is misspelled.


Good point, may be I should disable displaying electoral count for historical maps until actual numbers are implemented, thanks


The first thing I saw was a truncated quote. http://i.imgur.com/3Seye.png

The complete version: "Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Instead, shake things up today! Live through today. Don’t just exist through it - live through it!"


Will fix it shortly. Thanks for pointing out.


According to David Pogue, "Many Apple observers also wonder if Apple thinks that desktop computers are dead, since not a word was said about the iMac and Mac Pro. An executive did assure me, however, that new models and new designs are under way, probably for release in 2013."
