I'm confused. The title says this is about the pay gap among top CEOs. But all the charts in the presentation are about payment of board members EXCLUDING the CEO. Am I missing something, or is this title wildly inaccurate?

But how would you convert from 23.976 to 24? Either you will have a repeated frame once every 1000 frames, or you would need to interpolate every single frame.
Surely the first solution would be preferable. But it would still lead to more than one jitter per minute. I wouldn't call that "no artifacts".

I did something similar as participant in this study: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.29.21265530v...
The effects, with a 60000 lumen setup, were remarkable. Winter depression, which affected me on 2 out of 7 days before enrolling in the study, dropped to zero for the next two months.
The study showed that this lighting setup works as well as those light therapy boxes you sit in front of, and perhaps even better.

"Do not prevent spreading" suggests a kind of black-and-white perspective. This is not about fully preventing, it's about reducing the risk. Vaccines substantially reduce the risk of spreading or catching Covid.

The go-to book for this problem is "The Worry Cure" by Robert Leahy. The book starts out by explaining why many popular methods for fighting worry are actually ineffective or counterproductive - for example, trying to assure yourself that the thing you worry about will most likely not happen. There's a better way, and it is explained through a series of simple exercises in the style of CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy).
I first read it ten years ago, and I still use the tools on a weekly basis. Changed my life, and the lifes of two other people I gifted the book to.
You can get a gist of his method in this podcast: https://www.listennotes.com/da/podcasts/the-aict-cognitive/d...

I found this summary of Long Covid research quite intriguing and nuanced: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/long-covid-much-more-t...

Reaction time is something entirely different from being able to notice latency. Read the article, it's addressed there.

Small changes to personal consumption are not the best way to contribute to fighting climate change. A significantly more effective actionstep would be to donate a small portion of your income to highly effective climate charities [1].
I'm not against changing personal consumption - for example, I went vegan. But this is not where the majority of my impact on the world lies, as even a small donation vastly outweighs the effect that my veganism has.

What do you mean? Why can't we receive signals from more than "100 hundred light year" away?

The question is not the distance travelled but how quickly you need to react. If you're gimballing a rocket engine, this is not going to be a device that can do much movement within 20ms.

It is surprisingly difficult to make timekeeping unavailable. There are many methods, besides the official timer APIs, to get timing - as outlined in the paper "Fantastic Timers and where to find them" from TU Graz:

It's the same thing with helicopters, they need more power to hover than to fly forwards. It's called translational lift. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational_lift

Noise cancelling, in order to work really well, requires extremely fast processing and microphones that are directly on the ears. And then you need earphones with very well-defined frequency characteristics - which would make any approach with generic earphones very difficult. And not only that, the exact distance between earphones and ear matters a lot - that's why high-end ANC headphones like the Sony ones include a calibration routine.
