Regarding the GC backlog for India, what is your best guess for the number of years it will take for priority dates in 2016 to become current?

Wtf this is awesome! This should be better publicized. Thank you!!

Just because the formal rate increase happened in March doesn't mean people didn't know about it already. Rate hikes are typically speculated on for several weeks (months?) before they actually happen. By the time it actually happens, the market has always priced it in. The decrease in Jan/Feb was in anticipation of the March increase. And the current swings are in anticipation of the May/June increases.

Two hosts is efficient. Do it twice on two different hosts and then compare the results. If there is a mismatch, throw it away and redo it again on 2 hosts. A total of 4 computations are needed. But only if the difference really was due to bit flips, the chance of which are exceedingly rare. In all the rest of the cases, you get away with two instead of three computations.
