I believe they got a permit after the last cutoff date, they'll show up in the next one most likely.

Did you actually visit the link?

	p.set = noopfn;

That is uBlock Origin intercepting the request and responding with a no-op version of analytics.js
Nothing too interesting. They're restricted so they can only update their own source code.

Re:Google accused of racketeering in lawsuit on Saturday October 07, 2017 @01:53AM (#15422466)
So the contention is that Google stole his idea for building design software? His representation is a bunch of patent trolls and the suit has already been going on for 3 years. The only news is now they are contending that many major Google products are based on coordinated and systematic IP theft (Search, Ads, Maps, Wallet, Hangouts, Youtube, Android). Pretty sure this is entirely bullshit.

Actual lawsuit: http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?articl...

Just to be clear, they spend $200MM on travel for 7000 people a year, that's ~$75/day/person.
I think this one hurts more:

A new entry on the docket for the case notes that Waymo’s motion for a preliminary injunction has been partially granted and partially denied, but it’s not clear yet which of Waymo’s requests the judge will honor.
