It looks like there are a variety of attacks against crc32 - eg http://skilinium.com/blog/downloads/CRC.pdf

but that's all a bit above my head, and moreover is designed for attacking very long inputs, eg binary files.

If you know it's a password, then something like this pseudocode should run fast enough:

var crc32 = 'theHashGoesHere';

var wordsArray = readFile('someLargeDictionary.txt');

for(word in wordsArray) {

if(crc32(word)==crc32) {

print 'The password is '+word;

break;

}

}

Of course that will only work if the hash is a single word that exactly matches one of the words in your dictionary. You can get a bit cleverer by doing things like this:

var crc32 = 'theHashGoesHere';

var wordsArray = readFile('someLargeDictionary.txt');

for(word in wordsArray) {

if(crc32(word)==crc32) {

print 'The password is '+word;

break;

}

if(crc32(lowercase(word)) == crc32) {
print 'The password is '+lowercase(word);
break;
}

if(crc32(uppercase(word)) == crc32) {
print 'The password is '+uppercase(word);
break;
}

for(num in [00-99]) {

if(crc32(word+num) == crc32) {

print 'The password is '+word+num;

}

}

}

and so on.

In a galaxy far away there was once conceived the idea of a machine readable privacy policy ... checking the interwebs reveals that http://www.w3.org/P3P/ was updated for the last time in 2007.

After some more searching: http://www.cdt.org/paper/looking-back-p3p-lessons-future points to more information about that path from the past. What would the p3p.xml of facebook look like?

On another note: www dot freeprivacypolicy dot com [1] seems to generate the kind op privacy policies the site featured in this post sets out to parse. There is humor in that.

I think the issue revolves around the notion of "busy". The article notes that spreading your work in small chunks distributed around the day decreases your efficiency - something quite obvious if you step back a little from what you do. Still, most people (with myself being guilty) tend do get disrupted and spend time on hackernews, ... interrupting their workflow. So the argument boils down to "being elite is a matter of better focus, not a matter of more work hours."

You'd be amazed by how many medical studies uses such small sample sizes.

Often its for a good reason for instance when looking at the effectiveness of a surgical procedure in a sub-group or the treatment for a reasonably rare condition. Sometimes it is because of the need to use a random or carefully selected bias group.

But, as a one-time criminologist's statistician used to samples in 1000s (or 100s at least), I have often concluded that it was just bad science.

> But, I agree that this is the way things are going whether we all like it or not. Whatever is in public is fair game for social media. But Mr. Boyle should consider exercising his powers of restraint a little better.

Just because it's possible in a world with ubiquitous technology and social media doesn't make it right.

Whether a new technology causes society to suddenly lose part of their moral compass really depends on how many people passively "agree that this is the way things are going whether we all like it or not" and how many of us can actually still muster the effort to take some control and responsibility to steer towards what we believe is right, because ultimately society and "the way things are going" is made out of people, like you and me.

Also, I don't really believe this is a problem of new technology, it's just worsened by it. If this guy instead of tweeting, would have texted or called his friends to give a live report of some couple's marriage breakup, he'd be the same type of gossiping vulture. It's "just" that Twitter magnified the audience by some orders of magnitude, which makes him a really big and irresponsible gossiping vulture asshole.

Chinese "technocrats" created probably the largest real-estate bubble yet by focusing on short term GDP growth numbers. Look up china ghost cities. People bought in to these as retirement/savings to avoid their constant inflation (which is increasing). They are in a situation where they can't inflate that bubble anymore because the inflation would get out of hand, and are willing to risk economic downturn to slow it down (that should tell you how serious it is).

Or is their existence proof that humans at some point in evolution got a real advantage from eyebrows in regards to reproduction? (serious question, I'm not being sarcastic)

"AppEngine doesn't support Go"
Go itself is still pretty experimental. Changes are still made and with preparation for Go 1 they are making many backwards incompatible changes. They plan to remove the experimental tag on AppEngine the same time Go 1 is released. Until go itself becomes stable, they can hardly call the AppEngine version stable.

"no, without windows Go SDK it is not supported"
Considering that the compiler they use for go (gc) is not supported on windows, that is not much of a surprise.

"Android doesn't support native full featured Go apps, although in theory it seems like a perfect match."
This does not seem like a very good match at all. First, android GUI is programmed in java, it makes very little sense to try and make some sort of bridge between go and the java gui. Also, go at this stage is much better for servers than client facing applications. You know what would be an awesome fit? Go on AppEngine...

"Given that lack of support, I'm not even sure it is as widely used inside Google, or the story about inside usage is just a marketing."
So far you have given evidence that Go is not being supported for people who use Windows and for programming phones. That means Google does not use it in house? The fact that AppEngine supports Go is an indication of the opposite. They probably wanted Go on AppEngine so they could use it themselves.

I honestly think most companies keep production out of North America simply because factory workers have a tendency to go Union, and factory workers will always get the backing of other unionised factory workers.

This is like the Walmart Union situation in which the workers don't realise that Walmart makes money because these people are willing to work at minimum wage so walmart can undercut local competition. If walmart starts paying above-market-rate for wages, then it can no longer undercut local competition, meaning a lot of stores will close because they don't have a high enough profit margin, meaning mass lay offs.

IMO unionising isn't worth it if I have a 1 in 5 chance of getting laid off, especially if it means I won't have luck at finding another job.

Penn Engineering: #Majoring in Twitter
Intelligence is perceived on someone's outcomes to society. Playing the violin extremely well is an individual outcome, which denotes individual intelligence.
On the other hand, the majority of us work for organizations, groups, teams etc, where the quality of the outcome comes from the group's collective intelligence.
I wish I could find a different version of this article named instead: "If your team is busy, it's doing something <research_findings_here>"; because then it would apply to a more significant share of our societies.

I believe that someone being busy working on social interactions (of any type, real or virtual) generates great outcomes both personally and collectively. I don't believe in meditation, reclusion, cocooning anymore. A complex world requires sophisticated groups of talented people working together to solve problems. The busy they are, the better.

Maybe this slides off the topic. But I just wanted to express my view from a different angle.
Caribbean Hair Grow: Ethnic Hair Growth Formula
I agree that "legalize all drugs" is problematic, and probably not a good idea. "legalize all drugs less addictive than coffee" is a better option, that allows cannabis and mushrooms. (some people argue "all drugs less addictive than alcohol", but that would include cocaine). However, that still has the problem that customer won't know for sure what they're buying without some sort of FDA control, and small kids getting their hands on the stuff too easily. So as a third revision I propose "Regulate all drugs less addictive than coffee to be legally available to adults". Not very catchy.

> It is also inconceivable that a University group like this would do that—If they did they would all be in serious trouble.

What? It is trivially easy to find awful research from universities.

I've been involved (as a lay member of a research review panel) with university students who want to do clinical research. They come to the RRP with a proposal, and we walk through it and point out where they might have problems. It is amazing how many groups ignore things like small sample sizes or double blinding or control groups etc. Those are all basics that any student should have been aware of. And then there are the more subtle things like anonymising data or getting proper consent.

Having said all that, this news release link (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bright-light-into-th...) gives more information about methodology.

Note that they're researching SAD, which is not depression, and is rarer. Most people with depression don't show great results from light boxes.
I know that Go support for appengine is marked as experimental, but being linux/mac only for half a year, without any roadmap for window support is exactly what I call half hearted.

And full windows support for Go wouldn't be that hard. Many open source projects have windows support thanks to mingw/msys. Having Go and Go appengine fully supported on Windows wouldn't take more than 1 full time engineer. If that is too much to ask for Google, than Go is not even half-hearted supported.

For android, I know that it would be a bad choice to bridge it to Java UI framework. I was thinking of having native Go SDK for Android that will have its own UI and other API, which doesn't have to be similar to Java. Gooogle has already separate appengine SDKs for Python, Java and Go. I know that it would be a lot of work to do the same for Android, but that will at least show that Google is really pushing behind Go.

I agree that there are many pieces of bad research—this may well be one of them. Without seeing their full methodology its difficult to judge. There are many ways a piece of research can be flawed.

I disagree that a team of researchers from a University of this standing that is composed like this would run study multiple times and cherry pick the dataset with the result they desire and if they did they certainly would be risking serious professional (if not criminal) damage.

The researchers are:

Markku Timonen1 M.D. Ph.D, Juuso Nissilä1, MSc.,
Heidi Jurvelin1, MSc., Anu Liettu M.D.,
Jari Jokelainen1, M.Sc., Antti Aunio MSc. ,
Pirkko Räsänen3, M.D. Ph.D., Timo Takala M.D. Ph.D.

The sample size has nothing to do with the distinction between a survey and a study, as far as I know. Either could have a small sample size or a large sample size.

If they got a statistically significant result given some alpha value, then that's a valid result, assuming the experiment itself was set up in a valid way (random sampling, controlled, double blind, etc.). Statistical significance tests take the sample size into account. A large enough difference can make up for a small sample size, and vice versa.
