53: Hobby

2013-05-17T05:33:44Z

123.243.217.72: replaced "Startled" due to repetition

{{comic
| number = 53
| date = January 25, 2006
| title = Hobby
| image = hobby.jpg
| titletext = The only one of these games I really played was Area 51
}}

==Explanation==
This is the second in the "[[My Hobby]]" series of ''[[xkcd]]'' comics. In this comic, [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] describes a rather silly "hobby" which references a common video game mechanism. In some video games that involved the player harming enemies (whether the player is a police officer or some other character), there is sometimes a penalty for harming "good guys" or innocent bystanders. In score-based games, this is usually in the form of a deduction from the player's score.

Randall suggests that his hobby is going to drug busts (where police officers surprise suspects in the midst of drug usage or drug deals in order to catch them in the act and arrest them). Drug busts are usually depicted as a large number of police officers with weapons drawn barging into a room or speeding up to an alley or a parked car. If the police witnessed a person jumping out, they might be startled and accidentally react by reflex and shoot that person (although in theory police officers are not supposed to open fire until they have identified the target as a potential threat). The comic image suggests the police would lose 100 points for such an act. Obviously, doing this in real life would be a really bad idea, as the hobbyist would quickly be killed.

The title text references the game "{{w|Area 51 (1995 video game)|Area 51}}" which was a popular shooter arcade game from 1995 (although a console/PC game {{w|Area 51 (2005 video game)|of the same name}} was released in 2005) which was one of many cabinet arcade games which featured a light gun which allowed players to aim at the screen and shoot in a realistic control mechanic. The title text suggests that the comic may be referencing these light gun cabinet games specifically in the comic, although the premise applies equally to first person shooters of any type (and even other game genres).

==Transcript==
:My hobby:
:When the police bust drug hideouts, I sneak in and hide. Then I jump out and startle them into shooting me so they lose points.
:[A dead body on the ground in a pool of blood, with "-100" over it.]

==Trivia==
*The original title on livejournal was "My Hobby"
*This is the fifty-first comic originally posted to livejournal. The previous comic was [[52: Secret Worlds]], the next is [[55: Useless]].

Talk:1207: AirAware

2013-05-17T05:21:59Z

123.243.217.72:

I somehow has the feeling that the business-plan behind is that people will pay you that the drone LEAVES. --[[User:DaB.|DaB.]] ([[User talk:DaB.|talk]]) 08:39, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

:That would certainly work, but I'm not sure Black Hat wants that money. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 09:03, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

:: Even if this is the revenue model, it would be an undertaking that still genera...err.. extorts revenue. So, the drone is still incorrect when it yells out in the last panel. On the other hand, we're back to square one (the definition of business) if it's not the blackmailing BlackHat you pay to get rid of his drones, but another business that shoots them down. [[Special:Contributions/220.224.246.97|220.224.246.97]] 19:07, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

The "as it does not seem to generate money" bit seems a bit premature in the explanation. At the stage he's questioning whether it ''is'' a business, the question is "''who'' would even pay?". Only in the last frame does the utter lack of generated money (above idea from DaB. aside) arise and make him assert that it is ''not'' one, which gets him shouted at. Not sure how to re-write it, though. [[Special:Contributions/31.110.91.76|31.110.91.76]] 09:59, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

:Yeah, I was thinking that, but I didn't really know what to write and I was a bit rushed, I might fix it up now. [[Special:Contributions/203.51.90.96|203.51.90.96]] 14:06, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

I think this could also be to do with how Google Now works - e.g. it will often tell you things that you are semi-aware of, but ignoring.--[[Special:Contributions/194.201.25.22|194.201.25.22]] 12:03, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Google will make money on Now the same as always. By renting our eyeballs. I used it for the first time last night. It located me and showed me nearby businesses. If they weren't paying for clickthrough then, they will over time. ''— [[User:Tbc|tbc]] ([[User talk:Tbc|talk]]) 12:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)''

: I have not seen those yet, maybe because I'm living in a rural area. But it always shows me the weather, upcoming appointments (and when to leave for them) and traffic on my way to work. At work (smaller city) it also shows me places nearby to visit, but no ads, only POIs. --[[User:SlashMe|SlashMe]] ([[User talk:SlashMe|talk]]) 15:17, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

The bit about "must nake money" being WRONG is probably a reference to the scores of dotcoms who came to market with the idea that "We'll make something cool now, figure out how to make money from it later" [[User:Gardnertoo|Gardnertoo]] ([[User talk:Gardnertoo|talk]]) 13:30, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

IMHO, there is only one kind of organization that collect tons of dollars "just yelling at stranger from the sky": churches (in addition, churches are non profit organizations). [[User:Andcoz|Andcoz]] ([[User talk:Andcoz|talk]]) 14:45, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Big Brother 1984 (from 1948 by George Orwell) is just a Child's Birthday comparing to Goooogle.
And I like Goooogle as everyone else here does.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 15:24, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Of course the Pakistani version of this drone shoots you (and/or your relatives) if you say something silly, unless you pay it enough money. ~~tbwtg~~

I think that this explanation is wrong. This strip is about giving too much privacy. Google or Facebook knows much more about us than anybody else, and information is money, so this IS a huge business even if you dont pay anything --[[Special:Contributions/89.70.180.131|89.70.180.131]] 23:43, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
:so fix it [[User:Alpha|Alpha]] ([[User talk:Alpha|talk]]) 04:57, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
:I didn't really think of that whilst writing it, but that doesn't mean it was wrong, just that focus was on the wrong thing. [[Special:Contributions/123.243.217.72|123.243.217.72]] 05:21, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Any good business makes decisions to please or entice it's paying customers. You are not google's customer, or facebook's. If you didn't pay, you're not the customer, you're the stock-in-trade. The hardware store owner doesn't ask the hammers where he should display them. The grocer doesn't ask the watermelon for advice on marketing policy. ~wrybred

So the Innocence Project, say, has wrongly convicted prisoners as its stock-in-trade (since they don't pay for the representation). So, following the money trail, it must be the *donors* to the Innocence Project who are the clients, since they are paying. So the IP attorneys should consult with the donors about the defense strategy, not the prisoners. In fact, attorney-client privilege in this case must cover communication between the IP attorney and the donor, not the prisoner represented. It's all so clear to me now!

1207: AirAware

2013-05-03T06:15:26Z

123.243.217.72:

{{comic
| number = 1207
| date = May 3, 2013
| title = AirAware
| image = airaware.png
| titletext = It ships with a version of Google Now that alerts you when it's too late to leave for your appointments.
}}

==Explanation==
Upon being asked by Cueball, Black Hat reveals his new 'business', AirAware. He explains it uses a {{w|Quadrotor}} that flies and records a persons daily schedule, if that person either deviates, forgets an appointment, or tells somebody incorrect information (including that of future events) the drone alerts the 'client' with an annoying "WRONG!.

Cueball questions whether it is actually a business, as it does not seem to generate money. Black Hat expands, saying that it does not, and he is simply releasing them himself, non-for profit. Cueball starts to argue that it is not a business, since there is no monetary gain, before being abruptly interrupted by the AirAware drone, implying that his previous sentence was incorrect.

Although the Wikipedia page for {{w|business}} states that a business "may also be not-for-profit" it would be better classified as a different type of organization, or even, as a hobby.

Uh, not all tally marks are Doctor Who references. [[User:Alpha|Alpha]] ([[User talk:Alpha|talk]]) 05:49, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Oh, was he talking about the glove? I though it was referring to "running the gauntlet" for some reason. --[[Special:Contributions/123.243.217.72|123.243.217.72]] 07:17, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

{{comic
| number = 1189
| date = March 22, 2013
| title = Voyager 1
| image = voyager_1.png
| titletext = So far Voyager 1 has 'left the Solar System' by passing through the termination shock three times, the heliopause twice, and once each through the heliosheath, heliosphere, heliodrome, auroral discontinuity, Heaviside layer, trans-Neptunian panic zone, magnetogap, US Census Bureau Solar System statistical boundary, Kuiper gauntlet, Oort void, and crystal sphere holding the fixed stars.
}}

==Explanation==
{{incomplete}}
''{{w|Voyager 1}}'' is a U.S. space probe launched in 1977 to study the outer reaches of the Solar System and beyond. Popular press has on several occasions announced that it "has left the solar system" -- at each point when a boundary has been confirmed or a major event has taken place -- the fact is that the boundary is not known for sure, and that there are too many "authorities" who declare the major event of first man made object leaving the solar system entering into interstellar space. The Alt-text refers humorously to one of these being the US Census Bureau who have absolutely no authority in these matters.

The boundaries mentined in the title are:

* the termination shock - the point in the heliosphere where the solar wind slows down to subsonic speed (relative to the star) because of interactions with the local interstellar medium ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliopause_%28astronomy%29#Termination_shock wikipedia])
* the heliopause - the theoretical boundary where the Sun's solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliopause_%28astronomy%29#Heliopause wikipedia])
* the heliosheath - the region of the heliosphere beyond the termination shock ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliopause_%28astronomy%29#Heliosheath wikipedia])
* heliosphere - a region of space dominated by Earth's Sun, a sort of bubble of charged particles in the space surrounding the Solar System,
* heliodrome - a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliodrom_camp concentration camp] in the bosnian war
* auroral discontinuity,
* Heaviside layer - a layer of ionised gas occurring between roughly 90–150 km (56–93 mi) above the ground in the Earth's atmosphere
* trans-Neptunian panic zone - this fictional zone combines the word from two subject: "trans-neptunian" is used in astronomy to describe stuff that occurs beyond neptune. In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_education] the "panic zone" is the opposite of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfort_zone comfort zone] when trying to learn new stuff.
* magnetogap,
* US Census Bureau Solar System statistical boundary,
* Kuiper gauntlet,
* Oort void, a gigantic "cloud" of materials (mainly composed of ice) which ends around a light-year from The Sun and is deemed the (current) "edge" of the solar system.([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oort_cloud])
* crystal sphere holding the fixed stars - this is fictional, the solar system is not contained in a crystal sphere
