    I don't think I've ever come across an IDM fan who is a Trump supporter, so there seems to be a strong correlation between listening to IDM and having certain political views. The music, track titles or artwork themselves don't usually contain any explicit political messages, though, so it's not obvious to me where this correlation comes from

    Does anyone remember the Syntheme controversy from 2009? As far as I understood, the tracks were presented as if they had been made by a girl (Louise Wood) but they had actually been made by Global Goon (Johnny Hawk). And because of how they were presented they got more attention than Johnny Hawk's tracks normally did.

    It's above 20k now (new all time high). Does anyone on WATMM care?

    Trump is basically attempting to do a coup. Are there any laws that could stop him if he goes too far with this? Would be great if he ended up going to jail for a coup attempt.

    The price of Bitcoin looks like it might break the all time high soon (Coindesk shows $16,747 right now. The all time high was $19,665). Unlike 2013 and 2017, I haven't seen any media attention to the price rise for some reason

    Yes. Colab notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/github/openai/jukebox/blob/master/jukebox/Interacting_with_Jukebox.ipynb You can upload any audio in the Colab notebook and use it as the seed for the neural network for generating new audio Github: https://github.com/openai/jukebox

    As a projection of current trends into the future, I expect that in 2024 78-year-old Trump will lose to Jimmy Carter

    Twitter has already blocked four tweets by Trump today for spreading misinformation

    The scores on major news sites (Google, CNN, BBC, Fox News, The Guardian) are out of sync with one another and each of them shows different numbers, this is pretty confusing

    Are you really sure you're not confusing ASMR with frisson? Fast paced music typically induces frisson not ASMR, and confusing ASMR with frisson is a mistake that is often made (it has happened many times in this thread too)

    I don't know if this post is meant as ironic or not. If it was meant literally, it is incorrect. ASMR in itself is not sexual, although some people mix it with sexual content. This is similar with how music is intrinsically not sexual, yet there are half naked pop stars singing songs with sexual lyrics because that is what sells. Most people do not experience the ASMR tingles. Because of this, ASMR makes no sense to them (or they think they understand it but actually don't). Someone who never gets ASMR tingles criticising ASMR videos is like someone who was born deaf criticising music videos: the most important component goes missing for them.

    This is exactly like the video of Hermann Göring in the desert:

    I wonder if the drop in the number of reported coronavirus cases in the USA over the last month has something to do with the change in how the data is reported. The number of cases started going down exactly when hospitals were ordered to report the cases directly to the White House instead of reporting them to the CDC.

    What makes you think John Lennon would have been in any kind of art environment in the middle ages? He'd probably be a peasant like 80% to 90% of the population at that time. He would have had about 50% chance of dying before reaching adulthood. He'd have very narrow knowledge of previously existing music (limited to what other peasants in his village and neighbouring villages knew). He'd be slaving in a field that's likely not owned by him. He'd probably get whipped for spending time playing an instrument instead of working for a feudal lord in the field.

    The one that I just posted was real. Looks like it handles going off-topic pretty well

    It seems to me that the current state of things is that people whose main output is hot air (middlemen, managers, marketers, speculators, frauds, politicians) tend to get paid well and people who actually produce anything don't usually get paid as much

    I hope Trump will not try a military coup to stay in power past the elections. His justification would be that the radical left/communists/anarchists are causing chaos in the country and the only way to counter it is to give more power to Trump. This kind of resembles Hitler and the Reichstag fire

    Trump resorted to calling Fox News fake news because even Fox News doesn't agree with his statement that the USA has the lowest coronavirus mortality rate in the world: https://video.foxnews.com/v/6172996717001#sp=show-clips

    Trump administration ends the funding of the WHO (which has so far been 450 million dollars per year according to Donald Trump)

    I think something was not right with your calculation that gave 1 per 28206 as the death rate in the EU. I tried replicating this with the numbers taken from worldometers.info and got 1 per 3436.34 as the answer instead. I'm putting the raw numbers for the EU countries in the spoiler, so you can check if I was wrong somewhere if it looks like that to you

    The table on this website https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries has a column for "1 Death every x ppl" but it's not showing it by default, you have to enable it from the Columns dropdown menu

    I wonder how many black lives these Black Lives Matter protests will cost (due to COVID-19 deaths). It seems to me the protest are for a good cause but now is a bad time for them
