Talk:2190: Serena Versus the Drones

He should have added a chapter on how to make html imagemaps --Lupo (talk) 12:03, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

I've done imagemaps ages ago, and Randall is much smarter than me. It's clearly a matter of priorities. -boB (talk) 14:08, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

At this point, I think it might be a running gag. 162.158.126.88 15:33, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Oh, most definitely. He could clearly learn it, and likely already knows how or at least the basics. -boB (talk) 19:29, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure there were previous XKCD comics where he did use an imagemap. — Kazvorpal (talk) 21:26, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

I wonder if he knows that there is a video of the football player Patrick Mahomes throwing a football at a drone. He did really well. Robert911 (talk) 14:18, 16 August 2019 (UTC)Robert

Found the killshot on facebook. Seebert (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Collapsed the URL. Herobrine (talk) 09:59, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

My favorite phrase from the book excerpt: "how effective the world’s best tennis player would be at fending off a robot invasion." Who needs an army when you have the Williams sisters? Barmar (talk) 17:45, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

The blag post describes an experiment in which 3 tennis serves are performed and the target is hit 1 time. These results are significant at a p > 0.05 level. --162.158.58.219 19:07, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

It is just one excerpt from the book. I hope he does explain it somewhere. Because even without of using maths, 3 tries for the first hit seems pretty average when someone get 1 out of 5-7. --Lupo (talk) 11:55, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

How come Serena has a white face when the rest of her body is black? For legal reasons, that's a joke.

Thanks for sharing that disclaimer, but I don't think this is a situation where you want to have to face the comedians instead of the law. 172.68.46.203 05:08, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Wait, maybe the entire xkcd cast is actually black? 172.69.54.57 09:30, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Roger Federer (Randall, you know that there are tennis layers outside America? That are even better.) has already done that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttoXVwmuX1I - with higher precision it seems.
