well, he's not an academic, and that's part of the issue really.https://twitter.com/KirkegaardEmil/status/732233688726044672 …

apparently that Q is highly related to chance of first date sex http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-best-questions-for-first-dates/ …
With the open data, it's now possible to replicate that analysis. ;)

I wonder, if usernames were converted to hash (1-way conversion), would there be issue?
-
yes there would be if the hash is deterministic, as input space small
@KirkegaardEmil@doctorwhy@EirikSovik@randal_olson -
so anything semi-reversible is problem; goal of addl data scrape not possible
-
Any hash is reversible if one knows the seed. Hash solution possible only if one can hide the seed and still provide the hasher
-
yes, that was my goal here though, to still allow for future data merge; I understand how hashes work
-
Easy solution is just to let only the research team merge the datasets and then remove usernames from public data.

true, but is less 'open science'
