"Messing with 2FA is the anti-vaccination misinformation of security."
I don't get this analogy. 2FA is something that normally improves your security, your, er, online health. A 2FA "anti-vaxxer" might therefore be one who argues against the benefits of 2FA and suggests that it actually decreases your security, and tells people not to use it. But that's all a crazy conspiracy theory, right? I mean, how could using 2FA actually jeopardize your security? Unless this article were to be suggesting exactly that.
Full disclosure: My 4-year-old got his DTAP / IVP and MMR yesterday.:)
Wow I didn't realize how much I should love slashdot until both Ben Edlund and Bruce Campbell stories appeared within 24 hours.:)
In Mario Puzo's book The Last Don, he gives a lot of insight into the movie industry. People who get percentages of the profit are typically screwed because they can make anything look like costs. You're only a real star if you get a bit of the revenue - off the top. So maybe it could be an even tinier percentage, of revenue.
Funny the exact same thing came up in Bruce Cambpell's stuff - he was mentioning he'd love to go back and do more Brisco County, Jr. - and could do a movie a year with just $500k. I'd love to contribute to the Brisco fund.
Ben's answer to question #8 where he said another $100K would have made a big difference reminded me of an idea I had.
It seems like it would be cool to apply free market (or stock market) principles to entertainment. For instance, if they raised money for Tick by selling tiny shares of the profit from the show or something. That way things which are not too widely known but insanely loved by the few could still be funded.
I was originally thinking of it wrt the Lord of the Rings movies. If they cut any corners, I'm going to wish they gave us nerds a chance to make donations.
I guess they always could set up a little corp like a mutual fund for this purpose. Anything like this that I just don't know about? A company like Vanguard could be set up with this as its business model. (maybe stretching it)
