When I go to CFAR web page, my browser complains about the certificate. Anyone else having this problem?

It looks like you're going to https://rationality.org rather than http://rationality.org. CFAR doesn't have a SSL certificate (but maybe should get one through Let's Encrypt).

You're right, but now I wonder how it happened (going to HTTPS). I would guess that I googled the address somehow or followed someone's link, but I don't remember anymore.

I think that by now both Chrome and Firefox will, by default, attempt an HTTPS connection if HTTP is not specified explicitly.

That is, going to "rationality.org" will by default do "https://rationality.org". You can manually override that by specifying "http://rationality.org", but, of course, few people bother.
