| * Within Blocks Framework - if we initialize Random within the Piece, when |
| * it's serialzied and copied to all workers and all threads - keeping seed |
| * would cause same series of random numbers to be generated everywhere. |
| * |
| * So this class is safe to be used in Pieces, while using regular Random |
| * class is forbidden to be serialized. |
| * Best approach would be to not have Random serialized, and create it on |
| * workers, where possible. |
