Credibility Notes
A mailing-list archive copy of the same press release the W3C published at w3.org/2017/04/pressrelease-tbl-turing-award.html.en; read directly for this article rather than the ACM's own amturing.acm.org or awards.acm.org pages, both of which returned HTTP 403 to automated fetches from this workstation.
