This is also the august institution where, in 2012, nearly half of students taking 1310 "Introduction to Congress" (~125 students out of 279 in all) were investigated for cheating on the take-home final exam. (The jokes practically write themselves.) "Somewhat more than half" were forced to withdraw.
(To be clear, I'm being mostly sarcastic. As much as I shake my head at MozColonSlashSlashA's continued retrograde trajectory in the UI space, I am of course aware that skipping out on updates will result in losing functionality over time...though sometimes I wonder how much 'modern web functionality' I really need.)
Those of us with XP and Vista machines get the last laugh -- it means we get to keep using our favorite addons, like Classic Theme Restorer, NoScript, and AdBlock Plus (or uBlock Origin), while the rest of you get left out in the cold come November. Thanks, MozColonSlashSlashA!
What does this have to do with making a simple, secure, extensible browser? I can understand wanting to diversify revenue sources away from corporate handouts, but how much money can a minor social network be making if even the giants (e.g. Twitter) are struggling to make ends meet?

When you were having premarital sex, I mastered The Blockchain.
While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated Inner Strength.
And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate, you have the audacity to come to me for help?

But the training data came from human judgment, in which case the algorithm has almost certainly inherited whatever biases were in that data.
Psst, msmash, maybe talk to EditorDavid now and then? ;)

First, they came for the dolls...and I participated enthusiastically, because those dolls are creepy and violate my kids' privacy!
