Interesting if that is considered to be copyrightable. Any white noise track is perceptually indistinguishable from another, but none have the exact same sequence of samples except by chance, or if the noise generator happens to be deterministic as a function of time.
I find it so odd that people then to streaming services for stuff like this. I have a dedicated white noise machine, and when I travel, I use the white noise (bright noise actually) built into the iPhone.
Relying on an external hosted service would never cross my mind, and surely wouldn’t be something I go to on a daily basis.
You might find it interesting that there's an entire genre of youtube video that's designed to just be chucked one by one into slideshows for elementary school teachers to use as their lesson plan. Including videos that are just "2 minute timer for kids!"
People move to where the jobs are. That's how most English towns came to exist in the first place in the industrial revolution.
We're ~30 years into a new information/digital revolution and London is a world centre of it. There's plenty of wealth generation happening. People are welcome to sit and wait for it to come to them if they want.
Can you give me some examples of wealth generation from London?. You can exclude the massive amount of Financial Services that they shout about so much, that is just a way of skimming wealth of real businesses.
Seeing as you're already here, why don't you go to the last HN hiring page and search for London, then you can apply your special criteria about what's a real business and what isn't.
The UK is run as a city state for London's behalf.
The odd thing is that it makes fun of all those coal mining and oil producing areas whose wealth it has been only too happy to steal. A sort of internal colonialism.
(I mention this so more people can know the list exists, and hopefully email us more nominations when they see an unusually good and interesting comment.)
I think part of that in Britain is because we live in towns. In a small town there's always a shop or pub or restaurant to work in and kids can walk or cycle to work. Same in NL. Because so much of America lives in pure residential suburbs, the opportunities aren't there.
Accurate. Oddly enough on this side of the pond most people who would not want to raise their kids in the US would mention school shootings. The real, ubiquitous, daily danger is massive cars and lazy drivers.
Just because you have even bigger problems in the US, that does not mean that is isn’t cause for concern to be the school shooting capital of the world by an enormous margin.
The US have more school shootings than the rest of the world combined. It is not unfounded or irrational to be concerned.
I live in Britain. If you read back you'll see I am talking about the opinions of Britons and Europeans of raising children in the US.
My point is it still a very rare thing even in the most common place in the world. The weight of school shootings in people's minds is more emotional than statistical. Careless drivers kill way more people in the US and they do it every day.
Gun related deaths and homicide are big enough risk factors to be worth worrying about and mitigating as a parent, but school shootings in particular are so rare they are not a major safety concern for parents- gun accidents and homicide outside of school are much much bigger risks.
And that's with all the foreign student bonanza money. My inlaws live in Notts and all they see getting built is student blocks. Imagine what'll happen when the next government drastically limits student visas.
That naming deal renewal was one of the most bungled deals in history. FIFA wanted $1bn to renew for four years and to make it nonexclusive, EA told them to get fucked, now FIFA gets $0 and their name isn't even on the game.
