If you look at it with enough vagueness, I've seen some form of this at every job I've had: someone has a problem to solve, and has an idea that is fun to implement, unnecessarily flexible, and possibly Turing-complete. It's

If this was one group studying itself, maybe. Academia is big and has frequent disagreements about itself. Treat it as one group studying another. (Though one can still make mistakes and misrepresent data when not studying oneself, obviousl

Advertising is inherently manipulative. That's the entire point. Here, it's biasing toward Expedia, who profits if you use them regardless of which country you travel to.

Depends on whether it's the kind that's just glasses when turned off, or the kind that's just a VR headset with a camera on the front.

It's like the thing where light bulb brightness is rated in watts, but it's not the amount of power actually used, it's how much power an incandescent bulb of the same brightness would use. Numbers all become meaningless arou

"Comfortably" doesn't refer to comfort zones here, but is used in the "without major difficulty" sense (that is, one's needs are met to the point they're not stressed about food/shelter/medical c

I think the most likely explanation, if anyone is doing this, is an employee watching a log file and doing it on their own for domains that sound particularly desirable to them.
