Funny thing about this comment is that I actually asked Siri to start a metronome because I was sure as hell I saw it demoed on stage, and was going to tell him that Siri can already do it.
Realised I was wrong and figured I had seen the demo on Google Now and tried that. Nope.
So I tried Bing and there it was. Apparently it was a Microsoft demo. I don't have a Windows device, so I wasn't sure about Cortana. So yeah, that's the state of Bing and Microsoft in my perception of brands. But I do find Bing translate to work better than Google.

A lot of people will just support the colours of the shirt rather than the quality of the content. It's sad really.
Google is damn good at what it does, we all know this. But Microsoft are also doing some pretty cool shit with the help of some really smart people. It's healthy competition (albeit a bit one sided).

Bing just hasn't cut off their pointing finger yet. Google used to be awesome at pointing me at new porn, now they only seem to return mainstream pages.
I can attest. I am currently testing a lumia 950 for my employer who planes on buying upper management one. This phone is amazing and just works. No bugs, best battery life and the best camera on the market. Amazing device. I've also grown fond of Bing, it really does cut the junk results out....
I can never get windows 10 to open the apps store when I say apps. It thinks I say 'the' for some reason. Like I can say it 13 times and annunciat it different ways and every time it thinks I am saying "the" or sometimes 'stats". I tried to use it the first week I 'upgraded' to win10 and have sense not used it at all.
That's great but they need some fucking apps. I had windows phone (8 I think) for almost a year. It was awesome, and I LOVED the live tiles. But man the app store was garbage.
Dude, Bing is better for a lot of things. Images and video searches in particular. If you just want to search Youtube, search Google, because that's basically what it does.
I'm disappointed to find out my Google phone doesn't not give me a metronome natively. I can think of no time I'd ever want it need it, but I'm jealous my PC could do it if I turned on Cortana. What's the point of selling my soul to Google AND carrying around a government surveillance tool if it's going to let Microsoft have marginal edgecases features I don't need or want and will forget existed shortly?!?!

That's amazing. However they must only do that for Bollywood hits. I watched 2012 in a theatre in Mysore, and the only ones making noise were some kittens running around under my seat.
The show is called the Legend of Korra. The bald guy is voiced by J.K. Simmons, who is also in the movie Whiplash. This person took J.K. Simmons's lines from Whiplash and dubbed them over his character in Korra.
Really? He let him get inside his mind and made him believe that his respect and admiration were something he needed to succeed. He treated him like absolute shit throughout the film and degraded him and his talent, and then the end shows him smiling because the teacher liked his work. I thought it was incredibly sad and pessimistic.
They both realized their dreams though. Neiman made a great performance and become a "great" like Charlie Parker, and Fletcher had finally produced a "great", after failing with his previous students (like Sean Casey, who killed himself under the pressure). It was never about anything else, like being treated well. Fletcher's only goal is to produce a "great" and Neiman's only goal is to become a "great" (as we learn from the dinner scene, where he talks about his lack of friends and the priority he places on musical excellence).
The final scene is not just a one-sided acknowledgement of Neiman's greatness by Fletcher, it's Fletcher saying "yes, you did it, and therefore I did it" and Neiman smiling with satisfaction to that sentiment.
No, he smiled because he finally had made a Charlie Parker, like they talked about in the bar scene. The smile was saying that it had worked, Neiman had finally become a great musician.

It's really about the pupil becoming the master. At the end, you realize that he is better than the director. He has taken the place of the director, and the band now follows the drummer, not the teacher. At the end, the teacher realizes this... he sees that his power is lost, but he has created a worthy successor. They have switched places, and the student can no longer learn anything more from the man.

Yep, if anything this made me like the original actor more. His character was harder to read, you weren't quite sure if what he's saying about himself is for real, or if he's just bullshitting about caring so much. Until you get to the points of the movie where you can see quite clearly see HOW MUCH shit he gives.
Yea, to me it felt like when Shia Labeouf started taking more "serious" roles. It's like c'mon Even Stevens, what're you doing in this movie. So you're forced to just buy it so you can enjoy the movie.
I love describing the ending of that movie to people. (Not really a spoiler, but maybe) It literally ends in a jazz fight. Two rivals work out their differences by battling it out, armed only with jazz.

They're not the same thing as physical robots obviously, but that's where the name comes from, and the definitions I've found so far have said "(robot)" after. I've always just called them bots, and think of them as distinct from robots, but things like robots.txt shows that even tech literate people can be confused. Or maybe they know something we don't, like maybe these types of programs were always called robots at first, and bots just came around as a shortening?
Well, one semantic game that might be fun is this: the term comes from the Polish word for "worker", so you might ask - do they do work? You could argue for extending that sense a little bit, broadening it to "thing that does things", which would probably be a little bit more apt. And certainly bots fits that schema.
For my money, though, I would say that a robot has to be defined in terms of a single physical body of some type. Both Siri and bots generally have no real physical existence; they're programs, fungible, and portable from one digital system to another. Hence, not robots in any meaningful sense.

Most definitions of a robot require it to have moving parts with which it interacts with the world. I work on marine robots, and one of our vehicles is a Lagrangian float, meaning it has no lateral propulsion. It adjusts bouyancy by pumping water in and out and has no other moving parts. We consider this a robot, but just barely.

No. We have a robot in our lab. It's a big 'dumb' arm that follows instructions, moves objects around, and will punch it's way through the wall without even noticing.
Siri is a program that interacts 'intelligently', and has no physical impact on the real world. She's pretty much the opposite of a robot.

A key feature both of the research and development behind the original Siri, Inc. application,[12] and behind its function as an iOS application, is its artificial intelligence programming aimed to allow it to adapt to the user's individual language usage and individual searches (preferences) with continuing use, with return of results that are therefore individualized.
Siri is AI just like Google Search is AI. It's basic AI. It learns. "Not even remotely close to". Yeah, right. What would be close to?
It "learns" basically in the same way any program that uses a databases to store data, it just has fancy presentation. Is it neat and useful? Sure, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. That's like 0.001% of what would make an actual AI.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:02:42 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Siri definitely simulates intelligence. It does much, much more than just read databases, same with Google Search. They have plenty of really sophisticated algorithms.
Bleh, basic AI is like an equivalent of one of those crappy plastic phone toys.
It's basically a case of "we couldn't think of a better name so let's go with something familiar and cool sounding". I swear that everyone in CS field suffers from a middle schooler syndrome.

Fun fact, Japanese has an alphabet that's used for foreign words called katakana. It's phonetic, and if you learn it or use a chart, than you can follow along to almost anything it's used for without knowing much of the language.

Can you tell me what genre of Indian music it is that generally has that high pitched vocal style? I hear it in Indian restaurants and I'd seek it out if I knew what I was looking for.
It originates in Indian Classical music, and is a tone that is still used in "pop" songs. BTW, pretty much all indian pop music comes from Bollywood films (or their regional equivalents, like Tollywood). Everything about Indian culture is highly religiously influenced, from movies to music to books to art. Good luck finding a painting of anything but a god. (Of course, it's all very beautiful. I have some great Indian art of a religious legend on my wall right now)
So in your search, look for Indian Classical music (different regions will have their own variations on style) or more contemporary Bollywood/Tollywood films.
Also, when I was in India the first time, I saw a metal concert (metal is pretty huge there) and though most vocalists were male, there was a female vocalist that used that style as well. You could look for "Indian Metal" or any other genre and likely find the same vocal style used.
EDIT: I love world-electronica-fusion music, so check out this album from Putumayo. One song that utilizes the vocal style you're talking about is Noorie, by Bally Sagoo. It's not even the best song on that album.
EDIT2: The original "Noorie" is called "Aaja Re", and this version is particularly beautiful, though super panned left & right.

Haha, metal is huge in India. Especially with high schoolers and under-graduates.
I did my school and under grad in India. I remember tripping on Slayer, Megadeath, COB etc back in high school. College was more of Tool, Dream Theater, In flames, DT and the rest.
Quite a few Indian metal bands too, though none of them have made it big yet.
Yup, Skyharbor is pretty awesome. It used to be a one man project, just this guy called Keshav Dhar if I'm not mistaken. Some point in 2011 Tesseract came to India for a concert and the lead singer - Daniel Tompkins was impressed with Keshav and thus the current iteration of Skyharbor was born.
Skyharbor is Indian? Also, do you have any recommendations for similar bands? I used to love metal, but it's been a long while since I've found something that I really liked.
Oh yeah. For live music, you'll basically find Indian Classical or Metal concerts. The radio is all Bollywood, though. I'm so mad, I bought a CD from that concert, but now I can't find it in my iTunes.
My friend is the lead singer/bassist of a fairly well known (I think) death metal band...you know the kind where you can't even distinguish any lyrics...or instruments for that matter...he said majority of his downloads come from India. His other big market seems to be the Philippines, which I found odd also. Apparently he's like a superstar among the death metal crowds over there.
Aaja re...the one song that makes me miss my dad and mom more than anything. They're still alive, but we live hundreds of miles away from one another now.
Saturdays on the way to soccer games, Sunday mornings at the grocery store, while doing math homework together, during dinner parties with uncles and aunties, at my engagement and wedding....this song always found a way into my life.
Just FYI Bollywood is also a regional film industry that only accounts for 25% of revenue even tho it has a higher audience than entire southern film industries combined.

Is all India music pretty similar like this? Do they have a concept like staccato (distinct separated notes) in their music? Do they have a defined scale even?
They pretty much use the same scales as western music, but make a lot more use of quarter tones for inflections, etc.
They do indeed use staccatoโin the song I linked to they use it actually.
[deleted] ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 19:54:13 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Ok, just listened to some samples from it, it sounds like modern American/Euro pop beat and instrumentation with traditional melody over it. The melody is still very EEEeeeeEEEEeeeeeEeEEe, no separation. So I don't mean in modern, western influenced music, I mean in Indian music.
It's starting to sound less like you're curious and more like you're being judgmental of Indian music, and also generalizing an entire musical culture off of one song.
And it does have staccato, like at 2:15. It's not much, but really most vocal melody music is fairly legato regardless of culture/language. So I wouldn't expect much from any language. (And again, this is just one song.)
Raga Bhairavi by sitarist Partha Pose uses staccato, so yes Indians do indeed have a concept of staccato. He's my favorite sitarist, check him out. Also, he's a classical instrumentalist, so I think this qualifies as Indian music.

I am interested, I study music and history avidly. The example you posted is irrelevant to me because it is modern music, almost all modern music, and that piece in particular, is influenced by American pop. That music is not of particular interest, especially as related to Indian culture and musical development. Furthermore, every example I have heard of music from the sub continent, including in a class devoted to it, has sounded similar to me, without distinct styles genres and notes as exist in European and especially European classical music. I am earnestly asking for examples of different styles of music and examples of something approaching an arpeggio, any examples of wholly Indian music containing non-step wise movement (consecutive notes separated by two or more whole tones) and fully articulated separated notes in the primary melody. I am not asking because I like or dislike or have some opinion of it, I ask for academic interest.
The example is indeed relevant because the melody is basically unaltered from the original. If you listen to the Original, which is non-western influenced, you'll hear arpeggios in the instrumental section at 3:00. I think again, legato and step-wise movement is a characteristic of vocal melodies in general. If you listen to Indian flute and strings, you'll have better luck.
Also, check out Partha Bose if you are looking for arpeggios. Indian Classical music uses a lot of it, especially in their instrumental music.

I'm hijacking this answer (I know, I know, I'm sorry!) with a copy of a reply from further down and earlier on explaining (briefly) what the first girl is doing too, because it's cool as fuck.
"It's called konokol, and it's syllables used to represent the different sounds you get from tabla drums in Indian percussion. Indian percussion uses distinctive tones and the syllables convey them along with the rhythm. If you were to just represent a rhythm onomatopoeically in English it'd be sort of like "bababababa, bababa, bababababa" but with the tabla (more used in Hindustani music, traditionally) for instance, it's not just about the rhythm. Each drum can make very different, very complex sounds, so when you're reciting konokol you vary the pitch of your voice and use specific syllables to signify the full range of sounds.
In Karnataka you'll also hear it used for the equally amazing mridangam, which is like Darth Maul's double-lightsaber to a normal tabla lightsaber, and the ghatam, which is basically a percussion pot that you have to have impressive belly control to play, as you use your gut to mutate the sound.
Indian music is fucking awesome. Here's a really cool example of konokol in a group setting. It's important to remember that this isn't just random bladdabladda; percussion is an integral part of classical music in India, and classrooms full of students will learn to recite forms, really long forms, which they will recite the same way for the rest of their lives. They can also say "oh hey, do you know such-and-such a raga?" to another drummer and they'll recite the same thing the same way together, as you can hear from the group in the link I posted.
(Edited to add some more details and a kickass video, as I was on my phone earlier.)"

in the north you have bollywood which overshadows everyone elses' industries up north, and in the south you have 4 different industries (1 for every state).

i'll disagree on artistic terms, i think mallu and tamil cinemas put out out quality artistic movies on the regular in much bigger numbers than bollywood.

Padayatra - It is difficult to describe, a bit heavier you could say, give it a try.

Edit:
This is a song from a recent movie.. its a love song, sort of popular. It's not exactly like one of those modern takes shown in Mojo, but it is still pretty good.
this sounds like a qawwali straight up, which is confusing because thats a traditional Muslim Sufi thing (I think I even heard him sing about Allah and Ibadat (which roughly translates as worship) and Ali who is the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad), but its being sung by a famous Sikh singer.
Can someone explain? In any case its awesome, yay for cultural solidarity

It's a love song. He does say ibadat but in context it means something more like "You are the eye's worship".
I mean the central themes of qawwalis are love, devotion, and a sense of longing. The format/style is even reminiscent of a qawwali, which is why I was wondering. And if I'm understanding correctly the main part of the song is the line Mawla Ali.

It's very possible that it's influenced by qawwali music then. This is the only place I could find an English translation of the lyrics.

It's not traditional Indian music. Or is it even Indian music. There is an Israeli composer named Shye Ben Tzur. He just came out with an album called Junjun.
vieman ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:41:50 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Shye Ben Tzur lives in India. I just looked up the album and it looks like the lyrics are in Hebrew, Urdu, and Hindi. The drums that start around 2:00 are definitely Indian though. It's not traditional Indian music, but I'd probably still classify it as Indian music though (maybe some kind of fusion).

My guess for very high pitched female voices is Bollywood, especially older stuff ex: Sholay, Holi Ke Din. But just in case you had some curiosity or if your restaurant really plays Indian classical music, here's a quick primer.
There are two main schools of Indian classical music, Hindustani in the North, and Carnatic in the South. They have different but similar scales and ways of counting beats. What you hear in restaurants is likely Hindustani music or Bollywood (not classical). Hindustani music is generally in Hindi/Hindustani, but there are composers in other languages as well. In Carnatic music, songs are sung primarily in Telugu and Tamil, with songs in Kannada and Malayalam as well. This song is from the prolific composer Thyagaraja. It's a very deep rabbit hole if you keep looking into it, and if you include semi-classical styles and court music from the Muslim rule (ghazals etc)
Give Lata Mangeshkar a listen, she's an absolute gem in Indian culture. Responsible for the classic Bollywood high-pitch voice, her music was in everything back in the day:

I think a lot of it has to do with western exposure. Certain words especially slang are just totally absent from your lexicon if you intentionally expose yourself to them. The company I work for has the word Rivalry in it and I was surprised how few foreign tech support guys know a word that I never even considered unusual or rare.
Tell me where exactly in Bombay people speak English primarily? Hyatt hotel?
cC2Panda ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:36:27 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I went to Bombay for a Parsi wedding and everyone under the age of 60ish spoke fluent English. At my gf's family events like the wedding English is the goto language especially for greetings because half her family is English/Gujarati speaking, the other is English/Marathi so to be inclusive you speak English.
Going out with people from Juhu, Bandra, Khar and Dadar they were mostly English speakers first, Marathi second then Hindi/Urdu. That said we are talking about families that would be considered wealthy even if they were in the US.
So you're saying that because you went to a wedding where people spoke English you can easily claim that this language is the first in Bombay? Seriously, go outside, walk the streets of the city.

My original point was that there are groups within India that English is their primary language. Then you come up with a comment suggesting that only foreigners(a foreign hotel) speaks English.
My follow is that I know specific communities within Bombay that do speak English primarily then Marathi. English is the first language especially to a lot of younger people now.
Then you come up with some obtuse bullshit, trying to say that what I mention as a small community of locals is what I'm passing as that whole city. Of course I know that Marathi is the main language in basically all of the state including Bombay, but a large number of young people are learning English first or side-by-side other languages. To say I have to go to the Hyatt or Novotel to speak english is more bullshit than claiming you speak English everywhere in Bombay.
TL;DR, My initial point is there is a decent community of first langue English speakers in India. That's it, not that everyone does or even a majority just there is a not insignificant number of primary English speakers.

Might not be the 1st language we speak but it is the 1st language that a fuckload of people learn formally. I don't know how true this is in the South but in places like Mumbai, quite a few people would be more comfortable using English to express complex ideas and thoughts.

My point is that Indians have a distinctive way of speaking and writing English which comes off as really formal to the English speakers in countries where they only speak English. Which is why the above argument seems to be formal, while it is not.
the above argument seems to be formal, while it is not.
I know, I edited that in before I saw your reply.
Anyway it depends on where you come from I suppose. What you say is really applicable to people from the southern states, especially Kerala and TN but imo its not really true for other places that tend to be more cosmopolitan, like Maharashtra for instance. You'll read/hear a lot more swearing in English (casual or otherwise) than in Marathi in Mumbai and Pune, mostly because English is the language you use to speak with your friends while Marathi is reserved for family and elders.
I was born in India and attended school there. The language they gave most preference to was English. They taught us Hindi and French in the lower grades but eventually they were dropped when we got past the 9th grade. The only language that they kept as a mandatory subject until the 12th grade was English.
So, you can say that it depends on where you're getting your education, and decide on the basis of that whether your first language is English or Hindi or some other Indian language.

My girlfriend grew up in Dadar, Bombay and English is her primary language. Her dad grew up speaking English and Marathi, her mom spoke English and Gujarati. So the while she does speak those three languages plus Hindi, English is by far her most common and well spoken language. I know plenty of Indians that English is their first and primary language.
What language you speak first varies largely by religious, regional, rural/urban, and economic status.

Aravind expressed the opinion people should be able to change religious art if they want. That is a cultural value judgement. There is no provable right or wrong answer.
OP believes that that devalues and disrespects the original work and culture. Yes, it is most prominent among young people, and yes, it's coming from western culture. The position clearly breaks from tradition. This can be seen as disrespectful.
There is nothing like an ad hominem or a personal attack in those comments. Once Aravind makes a value judgement statement he opens himself up to response based on his stance.

The layman's term "pitch perfect" makes more sense in this context since most of us don't know what the fuck absolute pitch is seeing as how we're not in a music subreddit.
His usage is correct. Pitch perfect meaning she is perfectly on pitch, just like pixel perfect or frame perfect in video games means you performed perfectly on a certain pixel or frame. He was not saying that she has perfect pitch, so that does not apply.

Not really. But this song is one of the most celebrated works of 18Th century composer Tyagaraja who wrote in telugu. Also, Hardly any Carnatic songs are in Malayalam.
Mallu? I've never heard it being used as a slur. It's short for Malayali (i.e. a person who speaks the language Malayalam natively). Gujju is short for Gujarati.
I know Paki is supposed to be a slur for Pakistani people, but even that, I've heard some Pakistani people never having heard it being used as a slur.
Thanks. I think that's the case with a lot of ethnic slurs. The ethnicity targeted with the slur starts calling each other the same word as a joke, and the side effect is the slur becomes a term of endearment and ruins the insult power.

Does it bother anyone else that in the second song the guitar and keyboards are mixed to the opposite sides of the stage so they don't match up with the visual?

Once I was having my super long and red hair cut by a lot and the hairdresser tidied up my hair all nicely in a loose ponytail, cut the hair where I wanted it and asked one of the girls there to put it in a box. It was very weird. She also did a really bad job cutting it and it didnt grow at its usual rate for fucking years. I never went there again. :( It was a really fancy hairdresser as well. Dicks.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:28:54 on January 24, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Haha no. It wasn't really how it was cut but rather the way it was styled (so in that sense the way it was cut is still a factor). I had to use a lot of products+heat to keep it the way she styled it which fucked up my hair. It also looked thinner despite my hair being insanely wavy because she cut it at an angle where you cant tell the hair is layered and so it looked naturally thin. She did a terrible job basically :(
Mostly False. (Well, India being an amalgamation of cultures and a billion people, there might be a few communities which might have such a ceremony but none that I'm aware of)
so companies collect, clean, and resell that hair.
True.
There is this very famous temple town called Tirupati (which is as rich as Vatican apparently). Anyways, one part of going to Tirupati and praying is getting your hair cut there, its supposed to bring good fortune and is considered holy. So tens of thousands of people get their hair cut there everyday and this hair is... you get the picture.
So, you start off saying that there is no ceremony where people cut there hair, then proceed to describe such a thing that thousands of people do a day.

Ha, "tens of thousands of people get their hair cut there everyday" does not imply that there's a ceremony where women shave their heads. That's an absurd leap.
That's like someone saying "people in US get their haircut at Supercuts", and then inferring "there's a ceremony where left handed white atheists get a buzz cut on Saturdays".
Oh shoot! There's a great story in the pharma industry about Tirupati!
A very common amino acid called cysteine is used all over the place in pharma labs. You know what has a lot of cysteine? Hair! So People would collect hair from Tirupati and strip the cysteine from it to sell to chemical labs. It cost a fraction of what normal chemical manufacturers would sell it for, so huge swaths of companies started buying cysteine from these hair based manufacturers. At first the manufacturers were confused with the huge increase in demand, but there was plenty of supply until it went unnoticed.
Then, a pharma company gets audited (a common thing, not for a specific problem) and needed to show their source of cysteine since it wasn't a known manufacturer or supplier of cysteine. So the FDA goes to India to do a certified GMP (good manufacturing practices) audit of the cysteine suppliers. Guess what? The hair-based manufacturers had no idea what the cysteine was being used for, only that lots of companies world-wide were buying it; so the FDA shows up to this confused company to do an audit.
They fail the audit horrifically because they had no acceptable quality control of their product. Why would they? They were just making this thing and selling it to whoever would buy it. In the end, the pharma companies needed to purchase cysteine from suppliers who had manufacturing and quality controls in place that were up to the FDA's standards. No idea what happened to the hair-based cysteine manufacturers.

It is Indian English for "please follow up" or "do what is necessary".
I think it must have entered their dialect through an English textbook because it is so common. I also worked with a lot of people who learned English in India and they would ask us if this was "real" English. I'm a descriptivist so I say, why the hell not, it's real Indian English. But it sounds funny to the ears of most native speakers outside of India.
I'm not sure why you'd he'd respond to someone's request for advice. Basically he was telling you to Google it I suppose.

You are looking at the worst among us. Just like all news in India related to US is about mass shooters killing people in theaters, of killing 5 year old school children and of racist police officers killing minorities. If you asked an Indian living in India, they would think that Americans have no values because they think everyone is a mass shooter and a racist. Similarly, news in US about India is of rapes, of corruption and other bad things.
I don't judge any nation by their worst representatives, and you shouldn't either. Of course, if you wanna close your eyes and just regurgitate a misrepresentation of a country of a billion people by the sensational stories in /r/worldnews, feel free to feed your ignorance.

Look, if you want to act like phenotypes don't exist, go ahead. But remember that humans aren't alone on the planet. If you want to stop categorizing humans, then stop categorizing everything - Animals, plants, music, cat and dog breeds, viruses, diseases.
I do believe everything is interconnected and we are just a part of one huge organism, but categorization is a necessary instrument to gain a greater understanding of our world - Even if it's microscopic in comparison to the greater macrocosm.

You do realize there are over 500million Indian women, right? Statically speaking, there is no possible way that 90% of them are ugly.
[deleted] ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 18:37:32 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
not sure how you came to that conclusion but statistically speakingg it is entirely possible that 90% of them are ugly. but obviously that depends on what people consider ugly
"Taste" is the key word which you were right to emphasize. It would be hard to mathematically prove that 90% of Norwegians are ugly or 10% of Americans are funny as these qualities aren't really quantifiable (I feel you know this, though). But I would say most people would fall under "average". "Ugly" is not a neutral word and loses meaning if 90% of a population is ugly, I reckon.

Most has 3 recognized definitions. You picked a number out of thin air and attributed it to me as if I quoted 90% anywhere. In "The majority of instances" could be as little as 51%
Regardless, I do think certain features are more prominent in different races, and I do also think certain features are unattractive to me. Therefore I can come to the general conclusion that certain races are more unattractive, which also include general exceptions.
The word probably, and the question mark at the end of most indicates I'm not speaking objectively. If others can't realize I'm only speaking about my experience, that's not my problem. I won't walk on eggshells.

I said some. Most had a question mark at the end. No big deal. It's not racist to find a particular race unattractive. Everybody has their own preferences.
What that guy said about Indians pooping in fields was off base and irrelevant to the conversation. It's perfectly alright to defend India. But something along the lines of "unsanitary practices happen anywhere with extreme poverty and India's population makes it very hard to manage everybody" would be a lot better than what you did, which is insinuate that pooping in public is a historic part of indian culture that foreigners just aren't used to.
Dude you must be either slow or obsessed with yourself to not understand why you were wrong. Nobody has been arguing that indians dont poop in the streets, but someone made an ignorant comment lumping bad hygeine in with "Indian culture" and all you did was defend that fake definition of indian culture. The storied history of Indian culture does not involve pooping in public. Do you fucking get it yet? Was it worth bothering me two weeks later? Find something productive to do with your time
I figured maybe you wanted to rebut the information. However instead you keep exploding with insults and more. So rather than continue to put up with your super defensive, shitty method of debating or even correcting someone.. Fuck you little boy, grow the fuck up.
What the fuck are you talking about dude? We both know where you went wrong. You were not wrong that Indians poop outside, you were wrong for idiotically claiming it as part of their culture. If you still don't understand the difference between culture and situational habits I suggest you log off reddit, finish your homework, and pay extra attention in school tomorrow :)
Culture has a few definitions. At least one definition is the arts, beliefs, knowledge, etc. At least one other also describes it as the ways of life, behaviors, social, art, etc. So the definitions overlap in some areas. Pooping outside may be a way of life, a behavior, for a lot of the population and that, by one definition, would make it a part of their 'culture'. I'm sorry that doesn't match your definition, but your personal definition of what culture is supposed to be is not the only one.
If you don't understand that a word in English can have more than one definition, or that a definitions can have a gray area.. Well, perhaps you are the one who should log off, finish your homework, and pay extra attention in school tomorrow, instead of acting in a condescending manner as if you're the all fucking knowing god of culture and websters god damned dictionary.
That's not what culture is and you know it. For a common practice to be cultural it must be based in said culture. i.e. Indians eating naan is cultural because it's an indian invention that came out of necessity and has historical cultural significance. Pooping outside is something a lot of poor people do, but it's not part of any group's culture, because it's just a general thing that happens to anyone in that situation. It's not an indian pastime. Just like having malaria or not eating enough food isn't part of central African culture. You're mixing up cultures and habits
Yep, every Indian is a rapist. How could I possibly forget? Every single one. Silly me for forgetting that.

I'm not sure if you're being racist or not but if you're not then everyone down voting this needs to know that generally Muslims aren't allowed to date at all, only marriage is allowed. Also men can marry outside the religion but women can't.
Most Westernised Indian women want nothing more than to date a guy who treats them with respect. Indian men are notoriously bad at that. You should try meeting some.

I worked as a shader (video-eng) and you are totally correct.
Camera people hear 3 audio lines on the intercom; PGM(program audio), DIR(director and assistant director) and ENG (shading and also used for cam-cam communication). During a football game, and especially when the ball is not in play, the ENG channel is filled with dirty jokes and comments on hot chicks in the stands.
My guess is that the camera man shot the girl in a medium shot, and the shader asked him to zoom into that black skirt so that he could "check the colour in his blacks" (wink wink). and the director is punishing him for this.
Any halfway decent director would have cued the shot before making it actual.
Any halfway decent cameraman would not have zoomed out like that if he saw his telly-light turn red.
It could also be that the editor had a slight case of butterfingers and pressed the wrong button.

I love messing with camera guys.
Most cameramen don't realize that (on Grassvalley cameras/OCP's) the shader can take over zoom/focus control on digital lenses. So I mess with the focus of CAM3, call CAM3 on ENG, tell him: "CAM 3 check your focus", wait 10 min, repeat. One time I did this to a guy about 5 times and the next day I told him I was messing with him. He was so relived, he told me he though his eyes where going to shit and he already made an appointment with a optometrist.

A few years back we got new cameras. These cameras are 3D ready so they have a option to H-mirror or V-mirror for when you use them in a 2 cam 3D rig.
So I look for a camera that has a somewhat symmetrical wide shot, wait until the camera man isn't looking, Horizontal flip the picture and ask the director to ask him to pan to the left. Then we all burst out in laughter as the camera man questions his sanity.
I love the broadcasting sector :D

As a TD, I can confirm this as the most likely scenario. Cam Op could also have also been trying to pull focus and didn't hear the Director's cue to his cam. However, as /u/RGBPeter stated above, any decent director would not have taken that shot, especially seeing that on his Preview monitor.
Either that or the TD took the shot too early, because in the end the Cam op had a pretty decent wide shot framed up.

The amount of broadcast professionals in this tread is baffling.
We should crowdfund a used OB-van. Put a alien sticker on the side and a "/r/videos-1" on the back. label the cameras as /u/CAM-1, /u/CAM-2 ect ect. We could open with a sleek into bumper made by the folks /r/freedesign and a voice-over by a user of /r/voiceacting with a deep voice.

Why would a halfway decent camera man not zoom out I'm that situation? Why would he keep a close up of some girls skirt lol
RGBPeter ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 21:25:57 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
He would not zoom out like that. That's clearly a panic zoom, way to fast and jerky. A camera man doesn't zoom like that when he is actual, he starts the zoom slow then builds up speed and slows down before he locks. He would also keep the girl's head near one of the "rule of third" points while zooming instead of dead center.
If this shot was cued (done on purpose) the shader would have had his hand on the stick, ready to pull back the iris the moment the camera zoomed out of the f-drop range. The wide shot is over-exposed so that didn't happen.
Also cutting away from a shot mid-zoom is ugly as hell. Keeping your shot locked allows the editor to cut away faster if the mistake was on his side.
The camera guy could have zoomed in to lock focus if the lens has a fixed focus at variable zooms. Some lenses change their focus point when zooming.
RGBPeter ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:59:50 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Broadcast lenses tend not to, they have a corrective lens (back-focus lens) behind the iris and the macro lens. And looking at the focal length of this shot I'm guessing it's a box lens. those lenses defently don't lose focus on zoom .

Yeah I was gonna say, the times I've worked on Broadcast cameras, I would always zoom, focus, and then zoom out and frame my shot, and wait for the director to call to my camera. It was always a challenge doing it as fast as possible - find subject, zoom in, focus, zoom out, frame shot - especially if subjects are moving. The tattoo was probably a good thing to focus on since you'd easily be able to tell when it is sharp.

I don't know anything about directing television, but I know what I'd do if I was a television director, and that'd be fucking with all my camera operators.
Maybe someone made a mistake, like director said 1 but meant 2, or the operator hit 2 instead of 1 or thought the director said 1 instead of 2. Maybe he was just half assing his job not paying attention to the feeds at all and just calling shit randomly while doing blow in the bathroom.
Yeah - That stadium probably has over 60 cameras or so and you can see them all on the tricaster. The standard is 'Ready (number) take (number)' and you'd call for what kind of shot you want. At least in Australia.

You're right about the director being able to see all the shots before calling them.

Not going to lie I have had some perv directors. " 4 I'm not going to take you for a while can I see some racks "
In this one I think he was tweaking the focus. It's normally "find an object with a lot of detail very far away and train the camera on it." The director probably switched shots without checking.
Maybe not, but I bet they have a very similar outlook on life. When two people who share the same flavor of crazy get together, wonderful things can happen. Or at least, that was the case for Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian.
I think he was thinking "oh wow maybe they'll put this in a documentary or someth- - aaaand my kid is being a goofball"

Are you kidding me? He looked as cool as he could possibly be about it. You can't just fuck around like that there, and look at the dad's reaction... he looks like he gets that the kid doesn't understand and wants to have fun, but has to try and calm him down. It looks like he doesn't even really want to have to stop his kid from reacting genuinely, but just that he has to. Or at least that was my impression.
I could see it being a lot worse from a parent who is an actual narcissist. So if he looks like a dick for doing that, I can't imagine what you'd think if the dad looked strict and tried to discipline sternly on the spot.

Like I said, it was a a 5 second gif. I just noted my initial, honest opinion after watching it. Who knows what happened after the clip or even before? It's irrelevant anyways as I was just opining on what I felt when I seen the 5 second loop. To me I think it was the way he placed his hand over his face in a sort of rough manner. To me, looking at his face and body gestures suggested that maybe if he didn't know he was being filmed, he may not have been so "gentle".
If someone else got a different vibe, I can totally understand. It's a 5 second clip. It leaves a lot to the imagination.

Something about that kid and that .gif is just downright unpleasant -andalittlerepulsive- to me.
I think it's mostly his horridfacial expressions and his ability to open his mouth wide enough to bite a cat's head clean off. The fact that the resolution/picture quality is really poor doesn't help. His face looks contorted, his nose doesn't look right, etc.
It just gives me the heebly-jeeblys.

They might look regular joe to you, but over here, people don't really care much about the actor's looks. The indian film industry is extremely diverse, the gifs you see are barely scratch the surface and are well known because they look really quirky and funny. This helps people get to "know" Bollywood/Tollywood/etc, but they aren't the right samples to define this culture. When you see an Indian movie, there are a lot of factors you have to take in while watching in order to enjoy it and it could be sometimes quite enthralling.
If you want to get a small taste of this culture, i couldn't recommend http://www.samosapedia.com/ enough. It's like the urban dictionary for India.
women come and go have a shelf life of like 10 years maybe.
casting couch ensures that a lot of them won't be from respectable family members.
guys, no such stigma exists and they can basically be there forever with an already established fan base of their father.
so mostly film industry is populated by male scions and hotties that come and go.

Probably because men's looks weren't really considered to be important in Bollywood until the 90's came around, what with globalization and all. It depends on what you want, eye-candy or an actually good movie. For recent movies with a bit of both I'd recommend Haider which stars Shahid Kapoor or Bhaag Milkha Bhaag which stars Farhan Akhtar.
One word answer?: nepotism.
Got nothing to do with anything else.
There are plenty of good looking dudes but like 5-6 families rule each industry and their family members populate the industries.
Yeah that movie actually came in 2001. It's called Seeri Varum Kaalai. He is the legendary milkman Ramarajan. He retired from his lucrative career of milking when he managed to milk only 5 litres from a bull.

Located on the northeast coast of Florida, Jacksonville is the state's largest city. According to EWG, 23 different toxic chemicals were found in Jacksonville's water supply. The chemicals most frequently discovered in high volumes were trihalomethanes, which consist of four different cleaning byproducts -- one of which is chloroform. Many trihalomethanes are believed to be carcinogenic. Over the five-year testing period, unsafe levels of trihalomethanes were detected during each of the 32 months of testing, and levels deemed illegal by the EPA were detected in 12 of those months. During at least one testing period, trihalomethane levels were measured at nearly twice the EPA legal limit. Chemicals like arsenic and lead were also detected at levels exceeding health guidelines.
#1 Pensacola
Located on the Florida Panhandle along the Gulf of Mexico, Pensacola is Florida's westernmost major city. Analysts say it has the worst water quality in the country. Of the 101 chemicals tested for over five years, 45 were discovered. Of them, 21 were discovered in unhealthy amounts. The worst of these were radium-228 and -228, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, alpha particles, benzine and lead. Pensacola's water was also found to contain cyanide and chloroform. The combination of these chemicals makes Pensacola's water supply America's most unhealthy.
Exactly the kind of take away I was hoping for. Its nothing against the people of course, anyone reading shouldn't take it personally if they live there. Knowing what we know though.. take measures to protect yourself like this guy.
I don't know why you say 'anymore' but Bollywood is a small portion of total Indian film industry revenue.
The 4 industries combined in south who still have less viewership than b-wood account for 75% of revenue.
And they have existed as long as Bollywood has.

Stache was more prevalent in tollywood, which is the South Indian film industry. Still is but not anywhere close how prevalent it was in the 90s. Many famous Bollywood actors did not have a stache
Its a trend in South Indian movies not Bollywood. While Bollywood has had some moustache sporting leads but the trend you mention is more common in South. Although from what I see recently its sort of changing there too.

Depends on what you mean by Bollywood. North Indian leads were almost always ridiculously good looking with only some exceptions.
South Indian actors on the other hand are almost all as you described. The reason is probably due to the fact that most South Indians were portly, average height dudes with staches and liked seeing someone they could relate to.

True. I'd guess they're called black because they usually have a much darker tone than most other people with brown skin.
Exactly, friend. racism is about the feeling of superiority over another race, not just describing them. Even if I said that I don't love brown people, it's still not racist. It's ignorant maybe, but maybe. %chocolate.
That's how I feel with people that get pissed if someone uses the term "black person" instead of African-American or some such PC term. What if he's not even African or American? He's still got very dark skin and that's probably what they were referring to. People are so sensitive these days. It's annoying as fuck.

Right. I can't remember where I saw it, but there was an American reporter who did an interview with some black celebrity from the UK. At some point the question was brought up about what she should refer to him as, because she kept calling him an African-American. Despite his insistence on him being neither American nor African, she just refused to call him black. She ended up calling him a British African-American, which obviously left the guy completely dumbfounded.
you didn't say 'indian person', you said 'indian people'.

Oh god it's the funniest thing. I forget about it for a while and then someone posts it and I die all over again. I have tears in my eyes. My belly hurts from holding it in. Oh god the shimmy.
Well, they're playing music and the kid is dancing so, they're kind of related
I grant that there is a boombox. But no one in the original video is dancing. So really the only commonality is that there is something music related going on. But by that standard, this gif would be as relevant to the video as the one you posted. But obviously, your gif is a bit more relevant for some reason, hm, I wonder what the additional common element could be...
uh...what?
Okay, since you are feigning confusion here, I'll ask you: why do you think this gif is funny?
The gif is funny because the kid is doing a funny dance with a funny look on his face. It is related to the original video because people dance to music, and it just so happens that the people in the video and the gif are Indian, or a similar ethnicity. In no way is any of that demeaning. No one said anything bad about Indians as a people, or a culture. No one is making fun of them. The video is cool, the gif is funny, and that has nothing to do with where they are from.
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 23:31:08 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Look, the gif was obviously posted because the people in it are Indian and they were singing Indian music in the video. There's nothing wrong with that, it certainly isn't a caricature and I don't think should be considered offensive at all, but pretending like the fact that they were Indian is just a coincidence is a bit dumb.
There are lots of silly dancing gifs, like the one I linked to. But no random dancing gif would make sense given the context. The entire joke turns on the fact that the people in the original video are Indian and then here is this gif of Indians doing this silly (semi-related) thing and being weirdos.
But do you see how dehumanizing that is? It takes the people in the video and then reduces them to their race. It racializes them, taking this one feature about them entirely unrelated to what they are trying to show you and then making the entire conversation about that. The fact that they came up with this clever form of beatboxing is entirely erased and, instead, you are left thinking "goofy people from India!"
Here's another way to think about it. Imagine some video where white people were doing a cool musical thing like this. And the most popular comment on a forum in India was a link to this gif. You'd probably be like, what the fuck, what does that have to do with anything? Why is that funny? And then you'd be like, oh, it's because when they watch this video the thing that stands out most to them isn't the actual performance, it's just that it's a bunch of white people doing a thing.
I see where you're coming from, and I could definitely see how someone could see these things and say "goofy people from India!" But in the original video, the guy and one of the girls beatboxes, and then the third girl sings in a beautiful traditional Indian manner. That's what made me think "Indian" when I watched it, not what they looked like.
Then I go to the comments and see this cute kid doing a hilarious dance, and it made me laugh. It wouldn't have mattered if the family in the gif were a different ethnicity, the gif was just plain funny.
I just don't think it's dehumanizing. A comedian (whose name I can't remember) once said something along the lines of "To deny that what they are doing is funny is to deny that they're human at all."
Also, that gif of the white girl dancing was the funniest thing I've seen all day!
You are literally the first person in this thread calling them weirdos, it's not demeaning to respond to a video of Indian people making music with a video of an Indian kid dancing. You need to chill out and learn when a joke is a joke.
Wow. You are the most sensitive Indian person I've ever met.
There is a huge difference between all of us sharing a laugh at related stuff and people like you who cry like a baby when a white person mispronounces Namaste.
If it were white people singing the oompa loompa dance or some other dance that's stereotypical white, then yes that gif you linked to would be related.
What I'm trying to say is that the intention behind the joke is what makes something "racist".
It's hard to tell (on Reddit for example) if this joke is malicious or a light hearted chuckle.
It's easy to tell (on stage) if a comic is making a lighthearted racial joke (like Louis CK or Eddie Murphy) or a malicious one (like old boy from Seinfeld)
I equate "racism"/"comedy" to "porn". I love comedy, all types of comedy. It's a great insight to culture and civilization. But it's hard to define a line. Sometimes you just "know it when you see it"
I take a slightly different view of humor. There is a school of thought that thinks that what matters is the intention behind the joke. But I think that more what matters is the premises that you have to accept to get the joke. So I might tell a joke with no intended ill will, but if it only makes sense to you if you understand that some ethnic group is inherently greedy, for example, then I consider that joke to be a racist one and harmful.

So this little Indian man is racist? Anything he does is racism because he's indian?
Is tying 2 types of media together racist? Why is tying skin color together any worse than tying together hair color? Race just has a history behind it but that history doesnt affect that post was harmful or not. Look at it alone and aeay from its own context then tell me whats racist. What if a video had something to do with red hair, and someone posts a comment with a .gif of a person with red hair, is that automatically demeaning to all people that have red hair?
I'm Indian and I laughed. Stop living your life just to be offended and then whine about it on the internet. This is Reddit not Tumblr. You're an embarrassment.

I recognize that angle/see where you're coming from (though I disagree and find it to be an overly sensitive reaction), but I was wondering if there is something racist in the gif itself that I was missing (there is not).
Man, Indian music with that kind of singing is always...not catchy, exactly, but like...It's so easy to just listen to it for minutes on end and not realize.
It's funny because I'm the opposite. Being brown myself and having been raised in that culture, I get sick of it. But, there are times that someone really good gets me attention.

Earlier today in a thread about a woman losing her job after assaulting an uber driver you said that the witch hunt against her was unfair and "misplaced aggression". You advised that people participating should seek counseling.
Now you are threatening me and advocating people finding me and doing harm because I made a joke on the Internet.

1 - First link not available in the US. Second one was pretty cool. Tons of dislikes though. Apparently Indian people are hating on it for defiling a classic. Edit: In case anyone wants more along the lines of that second link. Stuff I'm digging...
1 - It's not traditional Indian music. Or is it even Indian music. There is an Israeli composer named Shye Ben Tzur. He just came out with an album called Junjun. Here is the title track
1 - It originates in Indian Classical music, and is a tone that is still used in "pop" songs. BTW, pretty much all indian pop music comes from Bollywood films (or their regional equivalents, like Tollywood). Everything about Indian cult...
1 - There's a link that works. Also at the end what he says is basically "shut up" to Siri. The language is called Malayalam, its my native tongue from the state of Kerala in India. Fun fact, Malayalam is a palindrome.
1 - First one is not available in US. But here is the version from MS For those wondering what kind of genre this is, It is called Carnatic. Also, MS is referring to M.S.Subbulakshmi, undisputed queen of Carnatic music.
This is probably too late for the party but I'm 80% sure I went to college with the guy beatboxing. He's a very talented musician. You can see more of his work here.

I think it's Urdu. This sounds like Hindustani music which is a North Indian classical music but being sung by a Malayali singer with training in Carnatic music ( which is South Indian classical). So it has a unique touch to it.
Search for other Carnatic and Hindustani fusion music. Good stuff.

Have you spent time in both cities (or really New York and any major Canadian city)? Difference is less about overall demographics, it's more about the level of integration.
Both cities overall have similar proportion of white, but that said, my comment was brown, and i was referring to south asian. Accordingly to wikipedia, Toronto is ~12% south asian, while new york more broadly defines "asian" including south asian and southeast asian at 11.8%, indicating indian americans as only 2.7%. So Toronto has roughly 3-4x the brown population and IMHO diversity is far more integrated there. And that doesn't include the ~3% arab/west asian population in toronto.

This had nothing to do with the original comment. What does integration even have to do with this?
And while you did say brown, pretty sure NYC has more brown coloured people than Toronto. Brown =/= Indian. You can be african, native ect...
This had nothing to do with the original comment. What does integration even have to do with this?
Maybe my point wasn't clear -- When i lived in toronto, I used to meet / date more brown girls than in new york. Integration has everything to do with that.
IMHO brown is pretty well-known as not being black or native. South asian clearly, and potentially including arab/persian and central asian depending on how you think about it.
I didn't say = Indian, I merely gave the available data for NYC in wikipedia. If I thought that, I would have cited toronto as having 4-5x, not 3-4x.

The girl in the middle is probably an Indian classical dancer (likely Bharatanatyam) which is where the style she is singing in is most prominently used in the Indian culture. Her movements are therefore likely to be that much more prominent and expressive compared to a normal person. Youtube yourself some Bharatanatyam videos and you will see what I mean.

I think he meant more like those ridiculous "shitting street" comments that people automatically start spouting off when they see a brown person on the internet.
I guess you're referring to what the girl in the middle was doing.
Its like a traditional Indian version of beatbox/rhythm that I know as konnakkol (pronunciation: ko as in co in cofounder. The nna is the same stress as nna in panna cotta. Kkol is like Kohl's the brand without the s.)
Its a device that is used to mimic percussion or lead percussion. Typically uses the Th, ka, dh, m type sounds. It is traditionally used with teaching a classical south Indian dance form called bharathanatyam where an instructor uses a stick to hammer on a wooden plank kinda like a metronome and also raps in this style to maintain a tempo while the dancers dance. The sounds mimic the different tones that traditional south Indian percussive instruments make.
Sometimes classical singers also incorporate this into their performances where they beatbox a set and the percussionist who accompanies them plays the same thing back. I'll add links to these when I find them.
Man, Indian music with that kind of singing is always...not catchy, exactly, but like...It's so easy to just listen to it for minutes on end and not realize.
When the pilgrims came to America they thought the Native Americans were Indians, like from India. So I do believe that would be the right term. Calling the Native Americans "Indians" would be more improper. Right?
If all that time I spend in the lobby by the tv waiting for my chicken vindaloo to be ready has taught me one thing, it's that there was a significant lack of background dancers in that video. Also, how fucking long does it take to cook jasmine rice? I've been here for like 45 fucking minutes.
Assume youtube caches video locally, and perhaps reconciliation of views versus likes has a different process.
So for views you may only be seeing data from the server you are accessing it from (eg, by country or region), while the likes may be aggregated globally elsewhere.
Are you saying they don't cache videos locally/regionally? That would be really surprising to me, although I certainly have not knowledge of what hey actually do.

actually youtube gets the number stuck when they are being raided by large groups but later suddenly show the original value after some time after being verified these are legit views
I may have missed or added one, but it sounded like Siri said "zero" around 110 times before he cut her off.
One trillion contains 12 zeros. One trillion to the tenth power contains 120 zeros. If he had only asked for one trillion to the ninth power, they would have run out of zeros before the song ended. I'm impressed that they actually calculated an appropriate power of one trillion to get the right number of repetitions for their song, with a little bit of leeway at the end, as opposed to asking for an arbitrarily large number.
Alternatively, they knew ahead of time how long it took Siri to say, and just fit the song to that, thinking that one trillion to the tenth power was a good title.
From the time Siri starts saying "zero" to the time he cuts her off, approximately 42 seconds elapse. If she said "zero" 110 times in that span, her approximate rate of saying "zero" is 2.619 times per second. Therefore, if they wanted a slightly longer song that was still around a minute long, they could also have tried asking what one quadrillion to the tenth power is, which would result in 150 zeros, and which, from the time she starts saying "zero" would by this estimation take approximately a little over 57 seconds to complete.
A friend of mine kicks it improv style. I keep telling him that it sounds like 2 cars speeding through the desert with guys on the hoods sabre fighting. :)
The man holding the phone is beatboxing. No new news there.
The next girl is where it got interesting for me. She is singing konokol (sp?) which is a Indian method of singing rhythms. Many Indian/Pakistani/Carnatic percussionists first learn to sing konokol and then learn their respective instrument. Famed tabla player Zakir Hussain is an example.
The last one is singing, more traditionally, a melody. I'm not sure of the tune or what she is saying or even what language it is. It's is beautiful, clearly, regardless of all that.
1 minute-ish. After I clicked on this video, one of the ones that came up next was some guy and his computer.. I clicked thinking something cool would happen, but he just lets her read all the zeros.
You're joking right? Because on /pol/ ..indians are just about the lowest...followed by black people and muslims of any kind. Compared to that../r/reddit is pretty tame towards anything Indian.
Somewhere down the line I loose ZERO n then it comes back in the end.

The Siri servers that deal with voice recognition have a filter that, if it knows 100% that it has detected a Cunt, it will ignore them. You must be a pro to trigger it almost every time.
One trillion to the 10th power is more than that. It is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
YouTube takes time to process the view count whenever newly uploaded video has a sudden spike in viewers watch the video, it's done to verify that the views were legitimate rather than being faked by a bot for an example.

It's called konokol, and it's syllables used to represent the different sounds you get from tabla drums. Taka dimi ton dimi ton dimi taka ton is a fairly basic beat. The drums have distinctive tones and the syllables convey them along with the rhythm. If you were to just represent the rhythm with an English equivalent it'd be sort of like "bababababa, bababa, bababababa" but with the tabla it's not just about the rhythm. Each drum can make very different, very complex sounds, so when you're reciting konokol you vary the pitch of your voice and use specific syllables to signify the full range of sounds. In Karnataka you'll also hear it used for the equally amazing mridangam, which is like Darth Maul's double-lightsaber to a normal tabla lightsaber, and the ghatam, which is basically a percussion pot.
Indian music is fucking awesome. Here's a really cool example of konokol in a group setting. It's important to remember that this isn't just random bladdabladda; percussion is an integral part of classical music in India, and classrooms full of students will learn to recite forms, really long forms, which they will recite the same way for the rest of their lives. They can also say "oh hey, do you know such-and-such a raga?" to another drummer and they'll recite the same thing the same way together, as you can hear from the group in the link I posted.
(Edited to add some more details and a kickass video, as I was on my phone earlier.)
Yeah there was already many videos of this being done. But because these people are not white reddit will pat themselves on the back for this one, wow good job guys aren't we so progressive here? We are such a good role model for society, no fuck off, get a life. Such a great website lol upvote! Circeljerk

Funny thing about this comment is that I actually asked Siri to start a metronome because I was sure as hell I saw it demoed on stage, and was going to tell him that Siri can already do it.
Realised I was wrong and figured I had seen the demo on Google Now and tried that. Nope.
So I tried Bing and there it was. Apparently it was a Microsoft demo. I don't have a Windows device, so I wasn't sure about Cortana. So yeah, that's the state of Bing and Microsoft in my perception of brands. But I do find Bing translate to work better than Google.

Metronome would be cool, but Siri returned a web search for metronomes for me.

Siri is kind of an idiot, considering where the standards are for language processing nowadays.

I just asked Google to play me a beat. It started playing a song called Draga Gyermekem by some dude named Beat.

I think they would be better off trying to make the voice recognition better. It's pretty bad at understanding what you say.

If enough people ask Siri for a metronome or a beat, would Apple notice and put it in the next update?

The show is called the Legend of Korra. The bald guy is voiced by J.K. Simmons, who is also in the movie Whiplash. This person took J.K. Simmons's lines from Whiplash and dubbed them over his character in Korra.

Really? He let him get inside his mind and made him believe that his respect and admiration were something he needed to succeed. He treated him like absolute shit throughout the film and degraded him and his talent, and then the end shows him smiling because the teacher liked his work. I thought it was incredibly sad and pessimistic.

They both realized their dreams though. Neiman made a great performance and become a "great" like Charlie Parker, and Fletcher had finally produced a "great", after failing with his previous students (like Sean Casey, who killed himself under the pressure). It was never about anything else, like being treated well. Fletcher's only goal is to produce a "great" and Neiman's only goal is to become a "great" (as we learn from the dinner scene, where he talks about his lack of friends and the priority he places on musical excellence).
The final scene is not just a one-sided acknowledgement of Neiman's greatness by Fletcher, it's Fletcher saying "yes, you did it, and therefore I did it" and Neiman smiling with satisfaction to that sentiment.

No, he smiled because he finally had made a Charlie Parker, like they talked about in the bar scene. The smile was saying that it had worked, Neiman had finally become a great musician.

It's really about the pupil becoming the master. At the end, you realize that he is better than the director. He has taken the place of the director, and the band now follows the drummer, not the teacher. At the end, the teacher realizes this... he sees that his power is lost, but he has created a worthy successor. They have switched places, and the student can no longer learn anything more from the man.

did you see the short that preceded the movie and features a different actor? It's only the cry-baby scene, but the acting is so much more convincing in my opinion, it kinda tainted the full movie for me, honestly.

Yep, if anything this made me like the original actor more. His character was harder to read, you weren't quite sure if what he's saying about himself is for real, or if he's just bullshitting about caring so much.

Except like that whole part where he kicks the guy out, gets fired, all for the purpose that he was going to somehow happen upon the dude at some cafe randomly and get him back into drumming? I thought, if they hadn't bumped into each other the whole lead up would have been completely tragic and pointless, but because of that coincidence it was all just some really cool necessary path they had to take?
I mean, I loved the movie, but that was a really strange aspect of that movie for me.

dysangel ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:47:43 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
They're not the same thing as physical robots obviously, but that's where the name comes from, and the definitions I've found so far have said "(robot)" after. I've always just called them bots, and think of them as distinct from robots, but things like robots.txt shows that even tech literate people can be confused. Or maybe they know something we don't, like maybe these types of programs were always called robots at first, and bots just came around as a shortening?
Jess_than_three ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:45:13 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Well, one semantic game that might be fun is this: the term comes from the Polish word for "worker", so you might ask - do they do work? You could argue for extending that sense a little bit, broadening it to "thing that does things", which would probably be a little bit more apt. And certainly bots fits that schema.
For my money, though, I would say that a robot has to be defined in terms of a single physical body of some type. Both Siri and bots generally have no real physical existence; they're programs, fungible, and portable from one digital system to another. Hence, not robots in any meaningful sense.

Most definitions of a robot require it to have moving parts with which it interacts with the world. I work on marine robots, and one of our vehicles is a Lagrangian float, meaning it has no lateral propulsion. It adjusts bouyancy by pumping water in and out and has no other moving parts. We consider this a robot, but just barely.

No. We have a robot in our lab. It's a big 'dumb' arm that follows instructions, moves objects around, and will punch it's way through the wall without even noticing.
Siri is a program that interacts 'intelligently', and has no physical impact on the real world. She's pretty much the opposite of a robot.

Fun fact, Japanese has an alphabet that's used for foreign words called katakana. It's phonetic, and if you learn it or use a chart, than you can follow along to almost anything it's used for without knowing much of the language.

Can you tell me what genre of Indian music it is that generally has that high pitched vocal style? I hear it in Indian restaurants and I'd seek it out if I knew what I was looking for.
funkybassmannick ยท 255 points ยท Posted at 18:02:16 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)*
It originates in Indian Classical music, and is a tone that is still used in "pop" songs. BTW, pretty much all indian pop music comes from Bollywood films (or their regional equivalents, like Tollywood). Everything about Indian culture is highly religiously influenced, from movies to music to books to art. Good luck finding a painting of anything but a god. (Of course, it's all very beautiful. I have some great Indian art of a religious legend on my wall right now)
So in your search, look for Indian Classical music (different regions will have their own variations on style) or more contemporary Bollywood/Tollywood films.
Also, when I was in India the first time, I saw a metal concert (metal is pretty huge there) and though most vocalists were male, there was a female vocalist that used that style as well. You could look for "Indian Metal" or any other genre and likely find the same vocal style used.
EDIT: I love world-electronica-fusion music, so check out this album from Putumayo. One song that utilizes the vocal style you're talking about is Noorie, by Bally Sagoo. It's not even the best song on that album.
EDIT2: The original "Noorie" is called "Aaja Re", and this version is particularly beautiful, though super panned left & right.

Based on the puzzling trends I keep seeing on Twitter, Twitter is mostly One Direction fans swooning over something mundane one of the band members has done and Indians griping about local politics.
The former is a small number of people tweeting a lot about nothing and the latter is a absolutely huge number of people tweeting about something they think is important.

I did my school and under grad in India. I remember tripping on Slayer, Megadeath, COB etc back in high school. College was more of Tool, Dream Theater, In flames, DT and the rest.
Quite a few Indian metal bands too, though none of them have made it big yet.

My friend is the lead singer/bassist of a fairly well known (I think) death metal band...you know the kind where you can't even distinguish any lyrics...or instruments for that matter...he said majority of his downloads come from India. His other big market seems to be the Philippines, which I found odd also. Apparently he's like a superstar among the death metal crowds over there.

Is all India music pretty similar like this? Do they have a concept like staccato (distinct separated notes) in their music? Do they have a defined scale even?
funkybassmannick ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 19:43:21 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
They pretty much use the same scales as western music, but make a lot more use of quarter tones for inflections, etc.
They do indeed use staccatoโin the song I linked to they use it actually.
[deleted] ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 19:54:13 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Ok, just listened to some samples from it, it sounds like modern American/Euro pop beat and instrumentation with traditional melody over it. The melody is still very EEEeeeeEEEEeeeeeEeEEe, no separation. So I don't mean in modern, western influenced music, I mean in Indian music.
funkybassmannick ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 20:05:30 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
It's starting to sound less like you're curious and more like you're being judgmental of Indian music, and also generalizing an entire musical culture off of one song.
And it does have staccato, like at 2:15. It's not much, but really most vocal melody music is fairly legato regardless of culture/language. So I wouldn't expect much from any language. (And again, this is just one song.)
Raga Bhairavi by sitarist Partha Pose uses staccato, so yes Indians do indeed have a concept of staccato. He's my favorite sitarist, check him out. Also, he's a classical instrumentalist, so I think this qualifies as Indian music.
[deleted] ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 20:52:21 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I am interested, I study music and history avidly. The example you posted is irrelevant to me because it is modern music, almost all modern music, and that piece in particular, is influenced by American pop. That music is not of particular interest, especially as related to Indian culture and musical development. Furthermore, every example I have heard of music from the sub continent, including in a class devoted to it, has sounded similar to me, without distinct styles genres and notes as exist in European and especially European classical music. I am earnestly asking for examples of different styles of music and examples of something approaching an arpeggio, any examples of wholly Indian music containing non-step wise movement (consecutive notes separated by two or more whole tones) and fully articulated separated notes in the primary melody. I am not asking because I like or dislike or have some opinion of it, I ask for academic interest.
funkybassmannick ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:06:06 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
The example is indeed relevant because the melody is basically unaltered from the original. If you listen to the Original, which is non-western influenced, you'll hear arpeggios in the instrumental section at 3:00. I think again, legato and step-wise movement is a characteristic of vocal melodies in general. If you listen to Indian flute and strings, you'll have better luck.
Also, check out Partha Bose if you are looking for arpeggios. Indian Classical music uses a lot of it, especially in their instrumental music.

I'm hijacking this answer (I know, I know, I'm sorry!) with a copy of a reply from further down and earlier on explaining (briefly) what the first girl is doing too, because it's cool as fuck.
"It's called konokol, and it's syllables used to represent the different sounds you get
from tabla drumsin Indian percussion. Indian percussion uses distinctive tones and the syllables convey them along with the rhythm. If you were to just represent a rhythm onomatopoeically in English it'd be sort of like "bababababa, bababa, bababababa" but with the tabla (more used in Hindustani music, traditionally) for instance, it's not just about the rhythm. Each drum can make very different, very complex sounds, so when you're reciting konokol you vary the pitch of your voice and use specific syllables to signify the full range of sounds.In Karnataka you'll also hear it used for the equally amazing mridangam, which is like Darth Maul's double-lightsaber to a normal tabla lightsaber, and the ghatam, which is basically a percussion pot that you have to have impressive belly control to play, as you use your gut to mutate the sound.
Indian music is fucking awesome. Here's a really cool example of konokol in a group setting. It's important to remember that this isn't just random bladdabladda; percussion is an integral part of classical music in India, and classrooms full of students will learn to recite forms, really long forms, which they will recite the same way for the rest of their lives. They can also say "oh hey, do you know such-and-such a raga?" to another drummer and they'll recite the same thing the same way together, as you can hear from the group in the link I posted.
(Edited to add some more details and a kickass video, as I was on my phone earlier.)"

in the north you have bollywood which overshadows everyone elses' industries up north, and in the south you have 4 different industries (1 for every state).

this sounds like a qawwali straight up, which is confusing because thats a traditional Muslim Sufi thing (I think I even heard him sing about Allah and Ibadat (which roughly translates as worship) and Ali who is the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad), but its being sung by a famous Sikh singer.

I mean the central themes of qawwalis are love, devotion, and a sense of longing. The format/style is even reminiscent of a qawwali, which is why I was wondering. And if I'm understanding correctly the main part of the song is the line Mawla Ali.

Shye Ben Tzur lives in India. I just looked up the album and it looks like the lyrics are in Hebrew, Urdu, and Hindi. The drums that start around 2:00 are definitely Indian though. It's not traditional Indian music, but I'd probably still classify it as Indian music though (maybe some kind of fusion).

My guess for very high pitched female voices is Bollywood, especially older stuff ex: Sholay, Holi Ke Din. But just in case you had some curiosity or if your restaurant really plays Indian classical music, here's a quick primer.
There are two main schools of Indian classical music, Hindustani in the North, and Carnatic in the South. They have different but similar scales and ways of counting beats. What you hear in restaurants is likely Hindustani music or Bollywood (not classical). Hindustani music is generally in Hindi/Hindustani, but there are composers in other languages as well. In Carnatic music, songs are sung primarily in Telugu and Tamil, with songs in Kannada and Malayalam as well. This song is from the prolific composer Thyagaraja. It's a very deep rabbit hole if you keep looking into it, and if you include semi-classical styles and court music from the Muslim rule (ghazals etc)

That's kind of untrue. Many people start off going to English-medium schools for their entire lives and even before that English is everywhere in India. It's misleading to say it's not their first language as an excuse.

Maybe its because I live in Kerala, but most of the people here ONLY speak English in formal situations, when they are talking to a teacher or the principal, etc. That is why the above argument between them too seems civil, even though it really isn't.

I replied in another comment, but in major cities lots of people speak English primarily. Where my gf went to school in Bombay they use English as the primary language but requires Marathi and Hindi courses(some muslims opt out for Urdu) as a secondary language.

I don't think they speak using the same slang as Europeans or Americans do, which is also another reason the English spoken or written by Indians comes off as weird at first.

I think a lot of it has to do with western exposure. Certain words especially slang are just totally absent from your lexicon if you intentionally expose yourself to them. The company I work for has the word Rivalry in it and I was surprised how few foreign tech support guys know a word that I never even considered unusual or rare.

I went to Bombay for a Parsi wedding and everyone under the age of 60ish spoke fluent English. At my gf's family events like the wedding English is the goto language especially for greetings because half her family is English/Gujarati speaking, the other is English/Marathi so to be inclusive you speak English.
Going out with people from Juhu, Bandra, Khar and Dadar they were mostly English speakers first, Marathi second then Hindi/Urdu. That said we are talking about families that would be considered wealthy even if they were in the US.
JesusVonChrist ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 19:44:13 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
So you're saying that because you went to a wedding where people spoke English you can easily claim that this language is the first in Bombay? Seriously, go outside, walk the streets of the city.
cC2Panda ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 20:01:00 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
My original point was that there are groups within India that English is their primary language. Then you come up with a comment suggesting that only foreigners(a foreign hotel) speaks English.
My follow is that I know specific communities within Bombay that do speak English primarily then Marathi. English is the first language especially to a lot of younger people now.
Then you come up with some obtuse bullshit, trying to say that what I mention as a small community of locals is what I'm passing as that whole city. Of course I know that Marathi is the main language in basically all of the state including Bombay, but a large number of young people are learning English first or side-by-side other languages. To say I have to go to the Hyatt or Novotel to speak english is more bullshit than claiming you speak English everywhere in Bombay.
TL;DR, My initial point is there is a decent community of first langue English speakers in India. That's it, not that everyone does or even a majority just there is a not insignificant number of primary English speakers.

Might not be the 1st language we speak but it is the 1st language that a fuckload of people learn formally. I don't know how true this is in the South but in places like Mumbai, quite a few people would be more comfortable using English to express complex ideas and thoughts.
That being said, the Siva fellow going, "STFU fag, your mom's a whore" would have been less hateful that the stuff he wrote.

My point is that Indians have a distinctive way of speaking and writing English which comes off as really formal to the English speakers in countries where they only speak English. Which is why the above argument seems to be formal, while it is not.

I know, I edited that in before I saw your reply.
Anyway it depends on where you come from I suppose. What you say is really applicable to people from the southern states, especially Kerala and TN but imo its not really true for other places that tend to be more cosmopolitan, like Maharashtra for instance. You'll read/hear a lot more swearing in English (casual or otherwise) than in Marathi in Mumbai and Pune, mostly because English is the language you use to speak with your friends while Marathi is reserved for family and elders.

I was born in India and attended school there. The language they gave most preference to was English. They taught us Hindi and French in the lower grades but eventually they were dropped when we got past the 9th grade. The only language that they kept as a mandatory subject until the 12th grade was English.
So, you can say that it depends on where you're getting your education, and decide on the basis of that whether your first language is English or Hindi or some other Indian language.

My girlfriend grew up in Dadar, Bombay and English is her primary language. Her dad grew up speaking English and Marathi, her mom spoke English and Gujarati. So the while she does speak those three languages plus Hindi, English is by far her most common and well spoken language. I know plenty of Indians that English is their first and primary language.
What language you speak first varies largely by religious, regional, rural/urban, and economic status.

Aravind expressed the opinion people should be able to change religious art if they want. That is a cultural value judgement. There is no provable right or wrong answer.
OP believes that that devalues and disrespects the original work and culture. Yes, it is most prominent among young people, and yes, it's coming from western culture. The position clearly breaks from tradition. This can be seen as disrespectful.
There is nothing like an ad hominem or a personal attack in those comments. Once Aravind makes a value judgement statement he opens himself up to response based on his stance.

I think it's stupid to take a song remix that seriously. It really might be bad! But why does it matter to him? He will never personnaly try to hear that song, he will obviously want to hear the original .... It does not look like this piece was intended as a provocation one either.

You see the same shit when you read reviews of Indian restaurants on Yelp. The restaurant can have overwhelmingly positive reviews but then there's always a string of negative reviews at the bottom, be like:
Deepan S. - 1 Star - Very disappointed
Amit P. - 1 Star - Dishes were mixed quality
Siva Y. - 1 Star - Pathetic!
Sukirti S. - 1 Star - Rude service
Apurva G. - 1 Star - They need to improve customer service.
Saniya H. - 1 Star - THE WORST
Suraj T. - 1 Star - Worst Indian food I've ever had.
Tusharadri M. - 1 Star - We had to wait 45 minutes.
Sayoni B. - 1 Star - Noodles were too spicy.
(These are all real names and excerpts of reviews from local Indian restaurants.)

His usage is correct. Pitch perfect meaning she is perfectly on pitch, just like pixel perfect or frame perfect in video games means you performed perfectly on a certain pixel or frame. He was not saying that she has perfect pitch, so that does not apply.

First one is not available in US. But here is the version from MS
For those wondering what kind of genre this is, It is called Carnatic. Also, MS is referring to M.S.Subbulakshmi, undisputed queen of Carnatic music.

Mallu? I've never heard it being used as a slur. It's short for Malayali (i.e. a person who speaks the language Malayalam natively). Gujju is short for Gujarati.
I know Paki is supposed to be a slur for Pakistani people, but even that, I've heard some Pakistani people never having heard it being used as a slur.

A possibly different rendition of Endaro Mahanbhavulu by the same artist, Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna (since I can't see the first one). You have to watch for at least a minute before the song starts. But this is considered one of the most important pieces of Carnatic (South Indian classical) music written by the composer Thyagaraja.

And redheads get paid more to donate their hair, not sure on the final price of a wig though supply-side economics suggests that the price would also increase because they had to pay someone, or maybe the payment for "donations" is subsidized by someone? Idk.
Wigs are like 5K though if it's real hair.

Once I was having my super long and red hair cut by a lot and the hairdresser tidied up my hair all nicely in a loose ponytail, cut the hair where I wanted it and asked one of the girls there to put it in a box. It was very weird. She also did a really bad job cutting it and it didnt grow at its usual rate for fucking years. I never went there again. :( It was a really fancy hairdresser as well. Dicks.

Haha no. It wasn't really how it was cut but rather the way it was styled (so in that sense the way it was cut is still a factor). I had to use a lot of products+heat to keep it the way she styled it which fucked up my hair. It also looked thinner despite my hair being insanely wavy because she cut it at an angle where you cant tell the hair is layered and so it looked naturally thin. She did a terrible job basically :(

The statement is true and false. Let me explain.
Mostly False. (Well, India being an amalgamation of cultures and a billion people, there might be a few communities which might have such a ceremony but none that I'm aware of)
True.
There is this very famous temple town called Tirupati (which is as rich as Vatican apparently). Anyways, one part of going to Tirupati and praying is getting your hair cut there, its supposed to bring good fortune and is considered holy. So tens of thousands of people get their hair cut there everyday and this hair is... you get the picture.

Oh shoot! There's a great story in the pharma industry about Tirupati!
A very common amino acid called cysteine is used all over the place in pharma labs. You know what has a lot of cysteine? Hair! So People would collect hair from Tirupati and strip the cysteine from it to sell to chemical labs. It cost a fraction of what normal chemical manufacturers would sell it for, so huge swaths of companies started buying cysteine from these hair based manufacturers. At first the manufacturers were confused with the huge increase in demand, but there was plenty of supply until it went unnoticed.
Then, a pharma company gets audited (a common thing, not for a specific problem) and needed to show their source of cysteine since it wasn't a known manufacturer or supplier of cysteine. So the FDA goes to India to do a certified GMP (good manufacturing practices) audit of the cysteine suppliers. Guess what? The hair-based manufacturers had no idea what the cysteine was being used for, only that lots of companies world-wide were buying it; so the FDA shows up to this confused company to do an audit.
They fail the audit horrifically because they had no acceptable quality control of their product. Why would they? They were just making this thing and selling it to whoever would buy it. In the end, the pharma companies needed to purchase cysteine from suppliers who had manufacturing and quality controls in place that were up to the FDA's standards. No idea what happened to the hair-based cysteine manufacturers.

Here you go, it's real that Indian temples make money off of hair sales (not that they don't pull enough from their hundis)! In this case it's Rs 220 crore or $32million It's very common in Hinduism to offer your hair as an act of devotion (like "If [x] happens, I'll give my hair to God"), especially in the South. Might as well do something with all of that hair, I guess...

That's not exactly racist. You'll see a train of completely unrelated gifs in a lot of threads featuring white people, anime characters, japan, or anything like that.
Funny gif of indians in OP = train of unrelated funny indian gifs.
Funny anime gif in OP = train of unrelated funny anime gifs.
There's no negative intent there at all.

What is "Do the needful" and why is it said?! I had a fellow grad student say that to me when I went to him for advice on some technical question. He really pissed me off when he responded to me with that.

That's like a really famous Indian thing apparently. IT guy in my office uses it a lot.

The other one I've noticed in my dealings with offshore developers is overuse of the word "Kindly".

[deleted] ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 18:51:03 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)*
It is Indian English for "please follow up" or "do what is necessary".
I think it must have entered their dialect through an English textbook because it is so common. I also worked with a lot of people who learned English in India and they would ask us if this was "real" English. I'm a descriptivist so I say, why the hell not, it's real Indian English. But it sounds funny to the ears of most native speakers outside of India.
I'm not sure why
you'dhe'd respond to someone's request for advice. Basically he was telling you to Google it I suppose.LeenockRules ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:44:21 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)

It means "do what's necessary". It used to be part of British English a century ago, but when they left India, they left a few things behind. There are a few more very interesting uses of archaic British English in India.

You have seen India from afar. I have seen India better because I lived in it. You see, the thing is, where ever Indians go, they are among the highest educated and highest earning ethnic community. India graduate highest number of engineers in the world. This all can't be because of your culture, your system and your values. Don't get me wrong, US is a great nation, but us Indians do our fair share and try make it better.

You are looking at the worst among us. Just like all news in India related to US is about mass shooters killing people in theaters, of killing 5 year old school children and of racist police officers killing minorities. If you asked an Indian living in India, they would think that Americans have no values because they think everyone is a mass shooter and a racist. Similarly, news in US about India is of rapes, of corruption and other bad things.
I don't judge any nation by their worst representatives, and you shouldn't either. Of course, if you wanna close your eyes and just regurgitate a misrepresentation of a country of a billion people by the sensational stories in /r/worldnews, feel free to feed your ignorance.

The secret is ghee (Clarified butter) or coconut oil. Rub into the hair, follicles, and scalp.
Warning: You will get greasy as fuck. But gradual administration will make it much better.
Also, it depends where you're from. The further south you are, the more likely it is that you suffer from what I have cleverly termed "Brillo Head".

The word you're looking for is ethnicity. Ethnicity and race are interconnected, only one is cultural and one is physical. Nationality indicates a shared dwelling region. For instance, a man of Italian ethnicity could have an American nationality, having been born in America.

Look, if you want to act like phenotypes don't exist, go ahead. But remember that humans aren't alone on the planet. If you want to stop categorizing humans, then stop categorizing everything - Animals, plants, music, cat and dog breeds, viruses, diseases.
I do believe everything is interconnected and we are just a part of one huge organism, but categorization is a necessary instrument to gain a greater understanding of our world - Even if it's microscopic in comparison to the greater macrocosm.

"Taste" is the key word which you were right to emphasize. It would be hard to mathematically prove that 90% of Norwegians are ugly or 10% of Americans are funny as these qualities aren't really quantifiable (I feel you know this, though). But I would say most people would fall under "average". "Ugly" is not a neutral word and loses meaning if 90% of a population is ugly, I reckon.
[deleted] ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 18:50:59 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Most has 3 recognized definitions. You picked a number out of thin air and attributed it to me as if I quoted 90% anywhere. In "The majority of instances" could be as little as 51%
Regardless, I do think certain features are more prominent in different races, and I do also think certain features are unattractive to me. Therefore I can come to the general conclusion that certain races are more unattractive, which also include general exceptions.
The word probably, and the question mark at the end of most indicates I'm not speaking objectively. If others can't realize I'm only speaking about my experience, that's not my problem. I won't walk on eggshells.

What that guy said about Indians pooping in fields was off base and irrelevant to the conversation. It's perfectly alright to defend India. But something along the lines of "unsanitary practices happen anywhere with extreme poverty and India's population makes it very hard to manage everybody" would be a lot better than what you did, which is insinuate that pooping in public is a historic part of indian culture that foreigners just aren't used to.

Culture has a few definitions. At least one definition is the arts, beliefs, knowledge, etc. At least one other also describes it as the ways of life, behaviors, social, art, etc. So the definitions overlap in some areas. Pooping outside may be a way of life, a behavior, for a lot of the population and that, by one definition, would make it a part of their 'culture'. I'm sorry that doesn't match your definition, but your personal definition of what culture is supposed to be is not the only one.
If you don't understand that a word in English can have more than one definition, or that a definitions can have a gray area.. Well, perhaps you are the one who should log off, finish your homework, and pay extra attention in school tomorrow, instead of acting in a condescending manner as if you're the all fucking knowing god of culture and websters god damned dictionary.
neilarmsloth ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:52:51 on February 4, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
That's not what culture is and you know it. For a common practice to be cultural it must be based in said culture. i.e. Indians eating naan is cultural because it's an indian invention that came out of necessity and has historical cultural significance. Pooping outside is something a lot of poor people do, but it's not part of any group's culture, because it's just a general thing that happens to anyone in that situation. It's not an indian pastime. Just like having malaria or not eating enough food isn't part of central African culture. You're mixing up cultures and habits

a googolplex is more atoms than there are in the observable universe. It's a pointlessly big number, it can't possibly be used for anything. 10 to the googolplex is just excessive.

Googol is larger than the number of atoms in the observable universe. But what if I wanted to know the number of possible combinations of quantum states of all particles in the universe? That's much bigger than the number of particles.

It's my understanding that this is a common misconception due to Moslems bringing the concept to Europe during Islam's golden age. Whenever a caravan departed for its journey, the leader would ask if there was anything more to add. The reply was "no, add nothing". Eventually a whole lot of nothing found its way to Europe.

I worked as a shader (video-eng) and you are totally correct.
Camera people hear 3 audio lines on the intercom; PGM(program audio), DIR(director and assistant director) and ENG (shading and also used for cam-cam communication). During a football game, and especially when the ball is not in play, the ENG channel is filled with dirty jokes and comments on hot chicks in the stands.
My guess is that the camera man shot the girl in a medium shot, and the shader asked him to zoom into that black skirt so that he could "check the colour in his blacks" (wink wink). and the director is punishing him for this.
Any halfway decent director would have cued the shot before making it actual.
Any halfway decent cameraman would not have zoomed out like that if he saw his telly-light turn red.
It could also be that the editor had a slight case of butterfingers and pressed the wrong button.

I love messing with camera guys.
Most cameramen don't realize that (on Grassvalley cameras/OCP's) the shader can take over zoom/focus control on digital lenses. So I mess with the focus of CAM3, call CAM3 on ENG, tell him: "CAM 3 check your focus", wait 10 min, repeat. One time I did this to a guy about 5 times and the next day I told him I was messing with him. He was so relived, he told me he though his eyes where going to shit and he already made an appointment with a optometrist.

RGBPeter ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 20:05:38 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
A few years back we got new cameras. These cameras are 3D ready so they have a option to H-mirror or V-mirror for when you use them in a 2 cam 3D rig.
So I look for a camera that has a somewhat symmetrical wide shot, wait until the camera man isn't looking, Horizontal flip the picture and ask the director to ask him to pan to the left. Then we all burst out in laughter as the camera man questions his sanity.
I love the broadcasting sector :D
rukuz ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:28:33 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
As a TD, I can confirm this as the most likely scenario. Cam Op could also have also been trying to pull focus and didn't hear the Director's cue to his cam. However, as /u/RGBPeter stated above, any decent director would not have taken that shot, especially seeing that on his Preview monitor.
Either that or the TD took the shot too early, because in the end the Cam op had a pretty decent wide shot framed up.

RGBPeter ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 21:25:57 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
He would not zoom out like that. That's clearly a panic zoom, way to fast and jerky. A camera man doesn't zoom like that when he is actual, he starts the zoom slow then builds up speed and slows down before he locks. He would also keep the girl's head near one of the "rule of third" points while zooming instead of dead center.
If this shot was cued (done on purpose) the shader would have had his hand on the stick, ready to pull back the iris the moment the camera zoomed out of the f-drop range. The wide shot is over-exposed so that didn't happen.
Also cutting away from a shot mid-zoom is ugly as hell. Keeping your shot locked allows the editor to cut away faster if the mistake was on his side.

The camera guy could have zoomed in to lock focus if the lens has a fixed focus at variable zooms. Some lenses change their focus point when zooming.
RGBPeter ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:59:50 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Broadcast lenses tend not to, they have a corrective lens (back-focus lens) behind the iris and the macro lens. And looking at the focal length of this shot I'm guessing it's a box lens. those lenses defently don't lose focus on zoom .

Yeah I was gonna say, the times I've worked on Broadcast cameras, I would always zoom, focus, and then zoom out and frame my shot, and wait for the director to call to my camera. It was always a challenge doing it as fast as possible - find subject, zoom in, focus, zoom out, frame shot - especially if subjects are moving. The tattoo was probably a good thing to focus on since you'd easily be able to tell when it is sharp.

Are you kidding me? He looked as cool as he could possibly be about it. You can't just fuck around like that there, and look at the dad's reaction... he looks like he gets that the kid doesn't understand and wants to have fun, but has to try and calm him down. It looks like he doesn't even really want to have to stop his kid from reacting genuinely, but just that he has to. Or at least that was my impression.
I could see it being a lot worse from a parent who is an actual narcissist. So if he looks like a dick for doing that, I can't imagine what you'd think if the dad looked strict and tried to discipline sternly on the spot.

Like I said, it was a a 5 second gif. I just noted my initial, honest opinion after watching it. Who knows what happened after the clip or even before? It's irrelevant anyways as I was just opining on what I felt when I seen the 5 second loop. To me I think it was the way he placed his hand over his face in a sort of rough manner. To me, looking at his face and body gestures suggested that maybe if he didn't know he was being filmed, he may not have been so "gentle".
If someone else got a different vibe, I can totally understand. It's a 5 second clip. It leaves a lot to the imagination.

Something about that kid and that .gif is just downright unpleasant -and a little repulsive- to me.
I think it's mostly his horrid facial expressions and his ability to open his mouth wide enough to bite a cat's head clean off. The fact that the resolution/picture quality is really poor doesn't help. His face looks contorted, his nose doesn't look right, etc.
It just gives me the heebly-jeeblys.

nadsaeae ยท 24 points ยท Posted at 17:41:59 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
They might look regular joe to you, but over here, people don't really care much about the actor's looks. The indian film industry is extremely diverse, the gifs you see are barely scratch the surface and are well known because they look really quirky and funny. This helps people get to "know" Bollywood/Tollywood/etc, but they aren't the right samples to define this culture. When you see an Indian movie, there are a lot of factors you have to take in while watching in order to enjoy it and it could be sometimes quite enthralling. If you want to get a small taste of this culture, i couldn't recommend http://www.samosapedia.com/ enough. It's like the urban dictionary for India.

women come and go have a shelf life of like 10 years maybe.
casting couch ensures that a lot of them won't be from respectable family members.
guys, no such stigma exists and they can basically be there forever with an already established fan base of their father.
so mostly film industry is populated by male scions and hotties that come and go.

GSun103 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:29:49 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)*
Probably because men's looks weren't really considered to be important in Bollywood until the 90's came around, what with globalization and all. It depends on what you want, eye-candy or an actually good movie. For recent movies with a bit of both I'd recommend Haider which stars Shahid Kapoor or Bhaag Milkha Bhaag which stars Farhan Akhtar.

Yeah that movie actually came in 2001. It's called Seeri Varum Kaalai. He is the legendary milkman Ramarajan. He retired from his lucrative career of milking when he managed to milk only 5 litres from a bull.

I don't know why you say 'anymore' but Bollywood is a small portion of total Indian film industry revenue.
The 4 industries combined in south who still have less viewership than b-wood account for 75% of revenue.
And they have existed as long as Bollywood has.

Stache was more prevalent in tollywood, which is the South Indian film industry. Still is but not anywhere close how prevalent it was in the 90s. Many famous Bollywood actors did not have a stache

Its a trend in South Indian movies not Bollywood. While Bollywood has had some moustache sporting leads but the trend you mention is more common in South. Although from what I see recently its sort of changing there too.
mace_guy ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 17:52:59 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Depends on what you mean by Bollywood. North Indian leads were almost always ridiculously good looking with only some exceptions. South Indian actors on the other hand are almost all as you described. The reason is probably due to the fact that most South Indians were portly, average height dudes with staches and liked seeing someone they could relate to.

That's how I feel with people that get pissed if someone uses the term "black person" instead of African-American or some such PC term. What if he's not even African or American? He's still got very dark skin and that's probably what they were referring to. People are so sensitive these days. It's annoying as fuck.

Right. I can't remember where I saw it, but there was an American reporter who did an interview with some black celebrity from the UK. At some point the question was brought up about what she should refer to him as, because she kept calling him an African-American. Despite his insistence on him being neither American nor African, she just refused to call him black. She ended up calling him a British African-American, which obviously left the guy completely dumbfounded.

Of course it did. They're singing and classic indian song, I found a clip of an indian kid dancing.
eliaspowers ยท -13 points ยท Posted at 19:26:00 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I grant that there is a boombox. But no one in the original video is dancing. So really the only commonality is that there is something music related going on. But by that standard, this gif would be as relevant to the video as the one you posted. But obviously, your gif is a bit more relevant for some reason, hm, I wonder what the additional common element could be...
Okay, since you are feigning confusion here, I'll ask you: why do you think this gif is funny?
AdmiralMikey75 ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 20:05:15 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
The gif is funny because the kid is doing a funny dance with a funny look on his face. It is related to the original video because people dance to music, and it just so happens that the people in the video and the gif are Indian, or a similar ethnicity. In no way is any of that demeaning. No one said anything bad about Indians as a people, or a culture. No one is making fun of them. The video is cool, the gif is funny, and that has nothing to do with where they are from.
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 23:31:08 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Look, the gif was obviously posted because the people in it are Indian and they were singing Indian music in the video. There's nothing wrong with that, it certainly isn't a caricature and I don't think should be considered offensive at all, but pretending like the fact that they were Indian is just a coincidence is a bit dumb.

There are lots of silly dancing gifs, like the one I linked to. But no random dancing gif would make sense given the context. The entire joke turns on the fact that the people in the original video are Indian and then here is this gif of Indians doing this silly (semi-related) thing and being weirdos.
But do you see how dehumanizing that is? It takes the people in the video and then reduces them to their race. It racializes them, taking this one feature about them entirely unrelated to what they are trying to show you and then making the entire conversation about that. The fact that they came up with this clever form of beatboxing is entirely erased and, instead, you are left thinking "goofy people from India!"
Here's another way to think about it. Imagine some video where white people were doing a cool musical thing like this. And the most popular comment on a forum in India was a link to this gif. You'd probably be like, what the fuck, what does that have to do with anything? Why is that funny? And then you'd be like, oh, it's because when they watch this video the thing that stands out most to them isn't the actual performance, it's just that it's a bunch of white people doing a thing.
AdmiralMikey75 ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 20:32:17 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I see where you're coming from, and I could definitely see how someone could see these things and say "goofy people from India!" But in the original video, the guy and one of the girls beatboxes, and then the third girl sings in a beautiful traditional Indian manner. That's what made me think "Indian" when I watched it, not what they looked like.
Then I go to the comments and see this cute kid doing a hilarious dance, and it made me laugh. It wouldn't have mattered if the family in the gif were a different ethnicity, the gif was just plain funny.
I just don't think it's dehumanizing. A comedian (whose name I can't remember) once said something along the lines of "To deny that what they are doing is funny is to deny that they're human at all."
Also, that gif of the white girl dancing was the funniest thing I've seen all day!

I mean, it is a joke and it is funny in some sense. But the joke turns upon certain racist assumptions.
The fact that so many redditors upvoted it, if anything, supports this claim.
price-iz-right ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 20:11:38 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)*
Oh it definitely has racial tones.
What I'm trying to say is that the intention behind the joke is what makes something "racist".
It's hard to tell (on Reddit for example) if this joke is malicious or a light hearted chuckle.
It's easy to tell (on stage) if a comic is making a lighthearted racial joke (like Louis CK or Eddie Murphy) or a malicious one (like old boy from Seinfeld)
I equate "racism"/"comedy" to "porn". I love comedy, all types of comedy. It's a great insight to culture and civilization. But it's hard to define a line. Sometimes you just "know it when you see it"
eliaspowers ยท -3 points ยท Posted at 20:17:27 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
I take a slightly different view of humor. There is a school of thought that thinks that what matters is the intention behind the joke. But I think that more what matters is the premises that you have to accept to get the joke. So I might tell a joke with no intended ill will, but if it only makes sense to you if you understand that some ethnic group is inherently greedy, for example, then I consider that joke to be a racist one and harmful.

Race just has a history behind it but that history doesnt affect that post was harmful or not. Look at it alone and aeay from its own context then tell me whats racist. What if a video had something to do with red hair, and someone posts a comment with a .gif of a person with red hair, is that automatically demeaning to all people that have red hair?

Now you are threatening me and advocating people finding me and doing harm because I made a joke on the Internet.

I think it's Urdu. This sounds like Hindustani music which is a North Indian classical music but being sung by a Malayali singer with training in Carnatic music ( which is South Indian classical). So it has a unique touch to it.
Search for other Carnatic and Hindustani fusion music. Good stuff.

Personality plays into hotness a lot. We're talking about the fuck of your life vs. dead fish here... You have to learn to read body language if you want a good fuck lol.. But if it's irrelevant, then you probably aren't a good fuck, so just choose at face value and proceed.
Edit: the best fucks of my life showed no signs of it with their body language so maybe I should reevaluate lol the librarian/preacher's daughter shit is true...

ChornWork2 ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 20:24:09 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Have you spent time in both cities (or really New York and any major Canadian city)? Difference is less about overall demographics, it's more about the level of integration.
Both cities overall have similar proportion of white, but that said, my comment was brown, and i was referring to south asian. Accordingly to wikipedia, Toronto is ~12% south asian, while new york more broadly defines "asian" including south asian and southeast asian at 11.8%, indicating indian americans as only 2.7%. So Toronto has roughly 3-4x the brown population and IMHO diversity is far more integrated there. And that doesn't include the ~3% arab/west asian population in toronto.
[deleted] ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 20:30:47 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
This had nothing to do with the original comment. What does integration even have to do with this?
And while you did say brown, pretty sure NYC has more brown coloured people than Toronto. Brown =/= Indian. You can be african, native ect...
ChornWork2 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:40:38 on January 22, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Maybe my point wasn't clear -- When i lived in toronto, I used to meet / date more brown girls than in new york. Integration has everything to do with that.
IMHO brown is pretty well-known as not being black or native. South asian clearly, and potentially including arab/persian and central asian depending on how you think about it.
I didn't say = Indian, I merely gave the available data for NYC in wikipedia. If I thought that, I would have cited toronto as having 4-5x, not 3-4x.

The girl in the middle is probably an Indian classical dancer (likely Bharatanatyam) which is where the style she is singing in is most prominently used in the Indian culture. Her movements are therefore likely to be that much more prominent and expressive compared to a normal person. Youtube yourself some Bharatanatyam videos and you will see what I mean.

I guess you're referring to what the girl in the middle was doing.
Its like a traditional Indian version of beatbox/rhythm that I know as konnakkol (pronunciation: ko as in co in cofounder. The nna is the same stress as nna in panna cotta. Kkol is like Kohl's the brand without the s.)
Its a device that is used to mimic percussion or lead percussion. Typically uses the Th, ka, dh, m type sounds. It is traditionally used with teaching a classical south Indian dance form called bharathanatyam where an instructor uses a stick to hammer on a wooden plank kinda like a metronome and also raps in this style to maintain a tempo while the dancers dance. The sounds mimic the different tones that traditional south Indian percussive instruments make.
Sometimes classical singers also incorporate this into their performances where they beatbox a set and the percussionist who accompanies them plays the same thing back. I'll add links to these when I find them.

The number Siri gave (1e+120) was ... a lot bigger.
Correct answer is 1e-120.

When the pilgrims came to America they thought the Native Americans were Indians, like from India. So I do believe that would be the right term. Calling the Native Americans "Indians" would be more improper. Right?

Assume youtube caches video locally, and perhaps reconciliation of views versus likes has a different process.
So for views you may only be seeing data from the server you are accessing it from (eg, by country or region), while the likes may be aggregated globally elsewhere.
Just guessing tho.

I may have missed or added one, but it sounded like Siri said "zero" around 110 times before he cut her off.
One trillion contains 12 zeros. One trillion to the tenth power contains 120 zeros. If he had only asked for one trillion to the ninth power, they would have run out of zeros before the song ended. I'm impressed that they actually calculated an appropriate power of one trillion to get the right number of repetitions for their song, with a little bit of leeway at the end, as opposed to asking for an arbitrarily large number.
Alternatively, they knew ahead of time how long it took Siri to say, and just fit the song to that, thinking that one trillion to the tenth power was a good title.
From the time Siri starts saying "zero" to the time he cuts her off, approximately 42 seconds elapse. If she said "zero" 110 times in that span, her approximate rate of saying "zero" is 2.619 times per second. Therefore, if they wanted a slightly longer song that was still around a minute long, they could also have tried asking what one quadrillion to the tenth power is, which would result in 150 zeros, and which, from the time she starts saying "zero" would by this estimation take approximately a little over 57 seconds to complete.

Siri is saying zero.
The man holding the phone is beatboxing. No new news there.
The next girl is where it got interesting for me. She is singing konokol (sp?) which is a Indian method of singing rhythms. Many Indian/Pakistani/Carnatic percussionists first learn to sing konokol and then learn their respective instrument. Famed tabla player Zakir Hussain is an example.
The last one is singing, more traditionally, a melody. I'm not sure of the tune or what she is saying or even what language it is. It's is beautiful, clearly, regardless of all that.
EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konnakol

YouTube takes time to process the view count whenever newly uploaded video has a sudden spike in viewers watch the video, it's done to verify that the views were legitimate rather than being faked by a bot for an example.

It's called konokol, and it's syllables used to represent the different sounds you get from tabla drums. Taka dimi ton dimi ton dimi taka ton is a fairly basic beat. The drums have distinctive tones and the syllables convey them along with the rhythm. If you were to just represent the rhythm with an English equivalent it'd be sort of like "bababababa, bababa, bababababa" but with the tabla it's not just about the rhythm. Each drum can make very different, very complex sounds, so when you're reciting konokol you vary the pitch of your voice and use specific syllables to signify the full range of sounds. In Karnataka you'll also hear it used for the equally amazing mridangam, which is like Darth Maul's double-lightsaber to a normal tabla lightsaber, and the ghatam, which is basically a percussion pot.
Indian music is fucking awesome. Here's a really cool example of konokol in a group setting. It's important to remember that this isn't just random bladdabladda; percussion is an integral part of classical music in India, and classrooms full of students will learn to recite forms, really long forms, which they will recite the same way for the rest of their lives. They can also say "oh hey, do you know such-and-such a raga?" to another drummer and they'll recite the same thing the same way together, as you can hear from the group in the link I posted.
(Edited to add some more details and a kickass video, as I was on my phone earlier.)
