Exactly. And 60fps (which is not that high for many games) gives you 16.67ms per frame. at a 50ms delay you're already 3 frames behind.

This is a good example of Nassim Taleb's Ludic Fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludic_fallacy

They already have contracts with licensing for the Play Store and other apps. Those are not included with the base images and require a contract to be in place.

This article is about letting your children play freely without your involvement, not about the issue of screens or whether it happens outdoors. The things you are doing are specifically brought up in the article:

"The areas where children once congregated for unstructured, unsupervised play are now often off limits. And so those who can afford it drive their children from one structured activity to another."

Most productions use a recording of "room tone" to create a noise print, which is subtracted from the recorded audio to reduce noise. Software such as Adobe Audition have this built in.

A known song could be used as a time-series with a similar effect.

I spent several minutes looking and was not able to find those links within the 223 page report.

But if the whole point is road safety and fewer accidents then those sober drivers should fail.

And someone who has never drank alcohol could easily fall below the BAC limits for impaired driving while still being completely impaired, after just one drink.

I'm shocked that an organization called the Cannabis Control Commission published a report in favor of Cannabis Control!

"The best example of the danger of focusing on a single measure came when I first started my own consulting practice in California. My second client was in the fast food business and had a chain of fried chicken restaurants that was growing in both the U.S. and internationally. .... Roy went on: “The one metric that is really important to management is Chicken Efficiency. At the end of every day, I have to calculate my Chicken Efficiency score...this is the measure that all the managers talk about all the time.”

Looking at Roy’s chart it looked like he was achieving 99-100% Chicken Efficiency every day that month that must be good. However, I still didn’t know what the measure entailed. Roy explained: “Chicken Efficiency is basically a scrap measure. You take how much chicken you cook and divided it the number of pieces of chicken sold. If you sell all the chicken you get 100% chicken efficiency, which is the goal – no waste or scrap.“

When I asked Roy how he achieved near perfect Chicken Efficiency every day he answered: “I’m gonna let you in on a secret, but don’t put my name in the report saying you heard this from me. My secret is I stop cooking chicken around 7:30 and only cook to order after that. That way none of the chicken sits under the lights for too long, everyone gets hot and fresh chicken, and I don’t throw any of it away – 100% chicken efficiency.“

I asked, don’t you get people coming in here all evening until the restaurant closes? Roy replied: “Oh yeah we get tons of kids coming in here after baseball or soccer practices or games, families, and lots of people. I tell them I’m going to make their chicken to order and it will take 15-20 minutes.”

I asked, do most of them wait? Roy answered: “Heck no, they file right out the door and head off someplace else, but management doesn’t measure that. They do want to make sure I don’t throw any chicken away every day, however. My buddie Leon taught me this trick – he got promoted to run three restaurants by not cooking any chicken“. I went on to visit other restaurants and every one of them talked about the importance of Chicken Efficiency.

This 100%. "What gets measured gets managed" is a 70 year old quote by Peter Drucker and it is no less true today. It reminds me of a great anecdote by Mark Graham Brown about "chicken efficiency", which is a great term to describe these situations. https://corporater.com/en/the-chicken-kpi-be-careful-of-what...

Yes, and the highly-valuable rights of way which were later monetized by telecom,etc: SPRint (Southern Pacific Railroad), QWest, etc.

I use a lot of music software and DAWs created by German companies. Any idea why Germany has been so successful in that specific market?
