No, they don't. They get a ton of tourist business especially because High Line is right there.


MLB occupies some space. But they were moving to midtown in 2019 but their lease is until 2022. Bamtech (recently acquired by Disney is there). I don't know what's going to happen for us. We'll find out.

Who is us?


"BAMTech" aka the old live video streaming arm started by MLB. They were bought out by Disney, which will be using the tech as the backbone of their own streaming service which is coming out in 2020 or so


Disney's new ESPN streaming push (which is also powered by BAMTech) is launching this spring.

Yes, I remember thesixtyone. You're right it was a great discovery tool for indie music. I just browse reddit.com/r/listentothis mostly on the comments to find something unique and interesting music.


Base Salary is just a tiny component of an executive's salary. It is a PR move. Executive salary is made up of Cash component (which includes Base Salary & Bonuses), & Equity.

Equity constitutes towards almost 99 percent of an exec's salary. There are short term equity plans and long term equity plans. The equity payouts are generally in millions.

Companies have to release a DEF14A (30-40 pages) each year to show Shareholder's how much the Top5 Execs were paid each year.


As a person who grew up reading Urdu in Pakistan- I can attest to the fact that I associate nastaliq with Urdu exclusively. Regardless of the history - his post is about what's currently happening with the Urdu script. If given the opportunity to read Urdu in nastaliq, I would probably read Urdu more often. I have tried reading BBC Urdu various times, and have given up due to the naskh script.


I can see the value in said script, but I have to live a more pratical lifestyle: as an IT guy, if I could stop reading English, Arabic, or Persian every time it is in an ugly font, I would.

And if you want to see ugly fonts, try Arabic news sites. BBC, Nastaliq or Naksh, have nothing on Al-Jazeera or Al-Arabiyya.


According to Wikipedia, the difference between Nastaʿlīq and Naskh is much more than just a different font.

And also, according to this discussion, I have also learned that Nastaʿlīq is deeply connected to feelings of origin and pride in (at least some) Urdu speakers, and these are delicate matters.

So why would you even make such an obnoxious, and totally incorrect, reduction of this matter to differences in mere font choices?


Isn't this the same thing - just as a bracelet.

Apart from the dedicated Tennis application.


This looks very well thought out and phenomenally useful for general fitness alone, with the potential to handle all sorts of applications, including tennis analysis. It's unfortunate that they're incredibly vague about what "summer launch" means, considering summer is only a few weeks away.

It is also very unfortunate that Android compatibility will not exist for another 4-6 months at the earliest. Focusing on a single mobile platform isn't something that should still be happening these days, especially when Android's market share dwarfs that of iOS. I look at the decision to focus on iOS in 2014 as a highly questionable business decision, at best.


Yeah, this is way better. The tennis one is too focused, and the market is too small.


This is really awesome. For those looking into implement something similar should check out IndexTank.

Yeah, Matt did a great job. Definitely a developer to watch.


I appreciate your feedback.


I've been pretty harsh, I know, but it feels to me that you've really missed the point about why the traffic comes to the blog and no further, and you need to re-focus your efforts. The points I've made won't all be right, and they will probably all be hard to take, but they are genuinely intended to help.

I was disappointed that it's taken this long for you to respond. We're all busy, but I've taken time to give you a critique, and I thought you'd be checking back for responses. It's not too late for me to engage further because now I really do have other things to do.

Not sure that you'd want much more from me anyway - I expect you're feeling a bit battered. For that I apologise, but I didn't have time to be more diplomatic.

Good luck.


The best way is to learn is from critique and I really value it. I apologize for taking so long to reply!


It's awesome when your customers blog about you


All his assumptions from the blog posts seems to be based on what he found online. Wait till he goes there!
