Every branch of engineering and design has technical cultures. In most kinds of engineering, the unwritten traditions of the field are parts of a working practitioner's education as important as (and, as experience grows, often more important than) the official handbooks and textbooks. Senior engineers develop huge bodies of implicit knowledge, which they pass to their juniors by (as Zen Buddhists put it) “a special transmission, outside the scriptures”.

Because it's not using https. While https is certainly preferable, as long as you're just reading info of a website (not making an account, entering data) http is pretty much fine.

Modern Browsers just don't like it (which is also understandable, because most users probably don't care about the nuances of when it is or isn't a problem).
