It's probably those same engineers that use Dropbox instead of getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.

This still boils down to calories in/out though. Metabolism goes under the 'out' column. It fluctuates, sure, but it's just as much an 'out' variable as exercise is.

This already exists. If you navigate back to the search results then that counts as a downvote. If you don't navigate back, that's an upvote.

> This also bypasses Ad blocker

GA does a good job at extrapolating your data to account for users with ad block. Obviously not perfect, but good enough for most cases.

Have you ever tried contacting Google?

I implemented something like this on a site visited almost exclusively by developers, assuming that developers must have amongst the highest adblock usage, and that my real visitor numbers according to GA would be much higher.

I saw a boost of about 7-8%. Remember, most adblockers (like Adblock Plus) don't block Google Analytics. uBlock and Ghostery are probably the 2 main GA adblockers, but as a % of adblockers as a whole they're not that large.

It's probably not worth it.

Apple's marketing department cares.
