The Calculator application does not update its currency exchange rates.

1. Open Calculator.
2. Select Convert > Currency
3. Observe that the pane shows an old Last Update in red. On my iMac it says 6/18/18, on my MacBook Pro it says 11/25/19.
4. This date does not change.

Since the current Calculator no longer has an explicit Update button for currency rates, the expected result is that it should automatically update the rate.

Console shows that it is attempting to connect to api.apple.go.yahoo.com but getting error at 14:50:48.425565:
