    The term "global warming" appears nowhere in tfa. That of course does not mean it isn't the case but it does mean that you are mistaken.

    Project the data, not the model. You need to do it anyway and has the side benefit of making overfitting more difficult. Protecting the model is impossible anyway since most advanc…

    Firefox is much easier and faster to compile but still complicated enough that you need to follow their build guide. Chromium is held back by Google's overzealous build systems tha…
