I was listening to the New Year's Day concert by the Vienna philharmonic and wondered who one of the composers was so used a popular song recognition app. (I expected it would make some fuzzy match on the piece and give me the name + composer). To my amazement it did give the name and composer but as played by the Vienna philharmonic in 2005 in the same location. The orchestra does not have the same members as 19 years ago, nor was it the same conductor, so it seemed the piece was matched on the acoustics of the Musikverein where they were playing, which I found astonishing.

You know what's wild about the protocol?

Some super nerdy smart autistic dude literally woke up one morning and it's like I'm going to make this.

Programmed it, took a shit and was done for the day.

A little bit of poetic license here but not far from the truth!

For sure, you left out all the paperwork - he'd had Taco Bell the night before.
