It could. Google won't do that for chrome. Had they not taken away onBeforeRequest with manifest V3, plugins could implement it themselves. Which is the thing you're suggesting...before the request goes.

They trojan horsed hobbling webRequest.onBeforeRequest into their manifest v3 design doc and rollout. Which is part of what would give you request time cloak detection.

This a good example of why manifest v3 sucks. By definition, it can't do anything like this...no live code hueristics are possible. It's a war of escalation with advertisers. Google is the arms dealer to both sides. They won&#x

> In a blog post, Mullenweg said the package offered $30,000 or six months of salary, whichever is higher, but the employees who took it would not be eligible to be re-hired by Automattic. Like never eligible? That seems kind of petty.

I suppose it's also possible that they are taking hundreds of data points including battery life and credits, and training some ML. Then they don't even really know what the algorithm is, other than whatever the weights they are

I wonder if there are any airport located Taco Bells. Those kind of captive locations are notorious for crazy prices.

That's what I'm saying. They tried to be greedy raising prices. Consumers reacted offsetting any margin that would have added. That aspect was not covered. It treats the subject as if consumers would keep buying the same exact l

It doesn't account for the idea that people bought less groceries, or cheaper brands, or used coupons, etc. Consumers do change behavior when prices rise that drastically.

They don't share how many seats are left publicly, but fare changes are shared real time in a platform that distributes them. And there's quite a lot of website scraping that goes on that mostly skirts around "how many seats

Or, where portability did matter. That was still true much later...web servers were often mostly C, then inline ASM for the SSL parts.

Not on 8 bit machines, no. Look at what Perl did with C in that timeframe though, and it's true for a different subset of machines. Within Perl 1.0, part of the Configure script, you can see the list of machines it could build on her

Poetry for sure acts this way. Some checks on things like "poetry.lock is older than pyproject.toml", but no real checks unless you specifically ask for them. Not saying it's good, of course. Just that it's typical.

I'd consider that to be one more driver (bios/software selectable jumpers) in addition to increasingly small features and high clock rates. Rather than something that refutes the situation is new.
