And yet people in certain European countries and tons of other parts in the world with different work attitudes can have tons of free time, despite having children et al.
Which ones are those? I'm from an European country and one of the biggest sources of internal stress for me is just noticing how much of my life gets wasted by having to have a job.

Check out most small towns (200K or less) and villages in places like France, Italy, Spain, Greece, etc -- the one's I know off.
>Didn't mean to imply that. I was just whining about my own life ;).
Heh, I added that part to refer to the original parent's question.
From what I've seen (and lived myself) in such places, work is mostly something you do, quite casually, for 8 hours or so, and then (or even in between work, e.g. with "siesta" etc) there's lot of socializing, slower everyday pace, etc. And everybody knows everyone else. People are not "ambitious" in the stereotypical "make it big" US idea.
That said, this also holds in "smalltown USA" too -- well, except for the unfortunate souls who work as employees in nationwide firms like Walmart, et al. But for those with own businesses, farms, etc, it's mostly like that.
Of course in larger cities you can easily work 14 hour days for shit pay.
they have more free time in small towns because usually your grandparents and parents and in-laws live close by and will help with babysitting (often people these days are only children, so plenty of parents/grandparents available to help), cleaning and cooking, not to mention that in general you live within ~10 minutes commute of your workplace.
North America is a lot more "everybody fends for themselves" than Europe, I mean, here parents will charge rent to their kids and nobody bats an eye, so forget about free babysitting and/or your mom coming over to clean your place and leaving your fridge stocked with leftovers. Not to mention living in sprawly cities with huge commutes in general...
Well, they have free time for "everything else" too.
E.g. kids can just go out and play or go to afternoon classes themselves, they don't have to be constantly supervised by their parents or be driven everywhere, so they get more freedom, and parents gets more self time, for one example.
They were obviously testing for combinations of words and not combinations of single characters. They might even have tested plain sentences. Still very impressive. After all, the leak dates back to 2012. I wonder how much time did the first one take for example.
I think strings that maps to the same hash are just inintelligible garbage. If you find something that looks like human then it's certainly the original password.
The first one is the title of a song [1]. The attackers probably have a lot of common phrases, song titles, and other catchy excerpts in their dictionary.
If it weren't a song title, it would probably have been impossible to crack. That sentence has 12 words. People say that most English conversations only use 3000 words. 3000^12 is 2^138. It has quite a bit more entropy than what we can crack nowadays. Besides, "stripper" isn't part of the 3000-word dictionary.
Those 3000 words are not random in natural language. If they were your calculation would be correct, but they aren't so the actual entropy of the system is likely nowhere near 138 bits. In other words, song title or not, if the sentence was an actual sentence the entropy is much lower. To get maximum entropy out of sets of words you have to use something equivalent to Diceware.
The documentation of most modules cited in the article start with a paragraph in red and bold warning the reader of the same danger explained by the author. So this is a nice compilation, but nothing new and nothing somebody looking at the documention of the module he's using will miss.
There are nonetheless good remarks about poor design choices of Python which can lead to misconceptions to newbies, such as naming `input` the function that does `eval(raw_input(prompt))` (as casually documented[0]), and the existence of such function in a first place.
Because maintenance takes time and it's not handled by your parents anymore.
