We at Facebook are very excited about the upcoming DConf 2014.


Will the videos be available afterwards at Andreis Youtube 
stream like last year?


+1

There's a big overlap between people who can't be at dconf and 
who also can't watch the live feed due to the time difference.


Like me, I tried my best to stay up after 1.30am to watch Andrei 
and Walter get peppered with questions, but since I left 
university, my ability to stay up (unaided by alcohol at least) 
is well gone.

As for ordinary non-crypto RNGs, I honestly can't imaging any

values, or even record/replay the higher-level decisions which 
the randomness was used to influence.



Theres lots of uses. e.g. Minecraft.
