But of course even if it's variance (i.e. the hashrate spikes and then drops) it's still going to have an effect on difficulty. See a couple of spikes from the recent past, green is the 2016-block/difficulty line.

That's exactly right ... even if you chalk it up to luck, there would have to be an equal amount of bad luck to cancel it out. However, I think if luck causes part of a difficulty increase, difficulty is likely to correct the next period (holding all else equal except for luck), unless there's an equal amount of luck.

And a NEW WORLD RECORD hashrate was just set. Breaking 378Ph/s.
Maybe KNCMiner and Bitfury are powering up their energy efficient miners.

Let's wait and see, if in two days we keep the Hashrate over 375Peta, we are in trouble otherwise, it's just a peak as the usual.

We are two days in the diff... things can change quickly. We have seen peak in hashrate before. All of this happened before and will happen again ;-)

Don't say that. I love keeping a constant difficulty, because then I can actually mine something.

That could be due to a combination of (1) the ddos attacks subsiding or at least being mitigated (which artificially lowered the last two adjustments), and (2) Bitmain's shipment of S5's. (They may have gotten their large 500+ orders out before the smaller orders, which are arriving now). There's also the possibility, as you've mentioned that equipment was moving as electricity rates adjust with summer coming in the Northern Hemisphere, where I'll speculate a large percentage of mining occurs. [Edit: The good news is that these are one-time factors - so if we have a large jump, there's no reason to think that we won't go back to the 2-3% average we've seen over the past several months.] [Edit2: The price increase from the last couple weeks could also have an impact - exchange rate has an impact, but it may lag by a week or two... which would make me think there would be a drop off toward the end of this period or during the next]. I added an experimental difficulty projection to the sheet that factors in what has happened so far, as well as the 3, 5, and 7 day moving averages at various weights. Right now it is showing an 8.39% increase. I feel this is a little high, but we'll see.
