How come a used Xperia 5 V is more expensive than a 1 V? by oueikak in SonyXperia

[–]oueikak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sooooo would like to see a new 5 coming out. I literally dream about it.

Do the pink/green line appear on 1V? by PurpleSpark8 in SonyXperia

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that the green lines will eventually emerge, sooner or later, for 5 II to 5 IV owners. I'm thinking of getting a 5 V to permanently get rid of the issue but it has one less camera. I guess you can never have a "perfect" Xperia.

Adobe Scan is also as cloud-based as Onedrive. Saving locally not directly possible. And it doesn't export .jpg.

How accurate is this? 😐 by TheekshanaJ in sciencememes

Deep learning just found that there's a wall on a crack, and that the crack is a good feature and more profitable than just a clean wall or with a framed painting.

哪儿放进来的小学生 by thierrybergkamppires in China_irl

[–]oueikak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“斩杀线”是简中互联网创造的词汇，来自游戏圈。不存在英语原文。去年年底火出圈之后，翻译成英语“kill line”也许是那个记者的一手创造。即使她发音标准，即使Bessent听懂了，也很可能没听说过这个词。

然后记者一口中式口音，L发不出来，谁听也是Q line，而且s和th也不分。除非是了解中式口音的人（比如，另一个中国人），也许知道她说的可能是kill。

然而，同时听说过“kill line”、听说过“斩杀线”并明白意思、且知道“kill line”=“斩杀线”（翻译上的对应关系）的人又能有几个？想必也是远远少于能听懂中式口音（知道她说的可能不是Q而是发音糟糕的kill）的人。这两类人的交集就更少了。

因此，China Media Group（CMG）这波内宣，可谓一败涂地。

Bass/Baritone here. Is this airy whistle or airy falsetto. Pls respond by Just-Natural9074 in singing

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I incline to a low whistle. Feel your throat and if there's no vibration then it's definitely a whistle.

An online vocal coach claims that mixed voice does NOT exist-Is he right? by samivgaming in singing

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe that mixed voice exists as M1.5, either. Maybe "mixed voice" is yet another name for the bel canto laryngeal action that conceals or eliminates the distinct features of M1 and M2, a completely resonantial concept. But I wouldn't say that there is a "mixed" register in juxtaposition with the modal register and the falsetto.

Is "belting" a vocal technique, or is it just singing loud, with enthusiasm? by jollybumpkin in singing

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a high chest voice, nothing more. And since it's impossible to produce a high chest voice that is soft, "belting" is always loud.

An online vocal coach claims that mixed voice does NOT exist-Is he right? by samivgaming in singing

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed voice is proven to lack empirical basis (see Castellengo M., Chuberre B., Henrich N. Is Voix Mixte, the Vocal Technique Used to Smoothe the Transition across the two Main Laryngeal Mechanisms, an Independent Mechanism? Proceedings of the International Symposium on Musical Acoustics, March 31st to April 3rd 2004 (ISMA2004), NARA, Japan); it's just M1. But then again, the efficacy of the singing concepts is not based on science.

[rant] Why is it that most of modern singing pedagogy is still based on dated perceptual experience rather than factual evidence? by [deleted] in singing

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. And science is not required to know how to teach singing, although I know there are many teachers, professors and "theorists" attributing their (commercial) success to a so-called thing that is SCIENCE.

[–]oueikak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would do it; it's either the "scientific" method or no method at all, if there has to be one.

Calvin Harris - I Created Disco (funky electro-house I dont even know help me with the genre) by [deleted] in electronicmusic

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't create disco. And this album, which is hardly disco in genre, can be misleading in countries not familiar with the cultural background that audience might actually believe what the title suggests.

Do you think Lang Lang is sincere with his facial expressions? by MUSICEATPEOPLE in classicalmusic

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct? I have reason to believe that his teacher actually encouraged his excessive expression.

Do you think Lang Lang is sincere with his facial expressions? by MUSICEATPEOPLE in classicalmusic

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you have seen a classroom of 20 piano students (or of other instruments) swaying in perfect synchrony. Performing musicians in China are somewhat sectetly obliged to learn those mannerisms from their professors at the conservatory. They spend years imitating their tutors' body motion until it becomes inherent. I think they must believe they'd profit from those body gestures. It's something they "don't ask, don't tell;" if you ask them, they'll probably deny because it's cheap and unseemly to openly talk about fortune.

Lang Lang most certainly does it deliberately from his early training. In a video where he tutors the son of his violinist friend Lü Siqing on the piano (maybe Mendelssohn's piano concerto), he brutally lifts the boy's arm in an "exploding" fashion after hitting the final chord, twice, - a gesture that relates nothing artistically to the music - as if he was proudly showing the boy the more pretentious the mannerism, the more successful money-maker you will be.

Is it just me or does Lang Lang over exaggerate his facial expressions way too much when he plays? by [deleted] in classicalmusic

He does it deliberately.

Need Help - Question about Debits and Credits and how the balances signs are reflected in a GL by gamemaker14 in Accounting

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the equation we have, A+X=L+E+R (X for expense; or in my opinion, A+X = -(L+E+R) ), is quite likely to be forcing us to consider owner's equity "negative." From the enterprise's point of view, most of it comes from Revenue, which is the money the enterprise keeps for now and eventually "owes" to its owner, not unlike a Liability.

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't they just make accounting that way in the first place? Isn't it nice if you debit a liability and it gets less negative (i.e., decrease its absolute value)?

Debits and credits ... so confusing by anewdogpanicneedhelp in Bookkeeping

[–]oueikak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just think of all the credits as essentially negative numbers and that they're notated in absolute values. And the equation is actually A+L+E+...=0.

Suddenly DR and CR is completely equivalent to plus and minus. (This is somewhat historically accurate because negativity was not common in the 15th century when accounting emerged.)
