HTTPS just means that the server you've connected to is probably the real server associated with that domain name, and that an actor without the private key of the server you're connecting to cannot read what's being sent either way, nor tamper with it.
Except in your analogy, you ignore that the point of https is to prevent _man in the middle attacks_, like say, you connecting to wifi at a starbucks with a compromised router (or think you're connecting to starbucks wifi, but you're really connected to Jim Bob's router). It also hides your traffic from your ISP, which prevents them from snooping your traffic to inject ads (real issue with some ISPs) or sell your clickstream data (they can only sell what ips you connected to).
I mean, it kinda did serve that purpose as well. The lock in the page did correctly state that: 1) The page you've been served is indeed from newegg.com, and 2) No data transmitted to or from you will be visible to any man in the middle.
No amount of transportation security can stop a compromised server from serving incorrect content or siphoning off data itself.
They really burned their source on this one. Admittedly, she should have copied it manually, but still. Any journalist should know better than to directly photograph and post such a document. Never, ever give anything sensitive to the Intercept after this Fiasco.
It's not just about securing the data in transit, it prevents tampering (eg. ISP or router injected ads) and tracking (your ISP cannot know what you visited on the site, just that you visited that particular ip and domain)
HTTPS isn't just about encrypting information like bank info - but also about preventing tracking. If all of your websites use HTTPS, your ISP can't snoop on your traffic to sell your data.
Also, there's the issue of timeliness. If you don't respond in time (perhaps due to grief, or being unaware of the situation of the estate with regards to actual values of debts and assets), then debtors can come after you well after your time to disown the inheritance has elapsed - whereas in the US, you would be shielded against such a thing, unless you misappropriated funds from the estate, in which case you would be responsible for those funds only, not the entire value of the debt.
The default in Germany is 1. You assume all debt and assets, even if there's a thousand dollars worth of assets and twenty thousands of dollars worth of debt. In order to not inherit the debt in such a situation, you must disown your inheritance as I described above.
Well, this company did specifically break various embargoes on trading with countries like Iran.
As for why we're specifically doing business with ZTE and agreeing to import their stuff again, that might have something to do with the patents that were issued at the same time for Ivanka's products. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/0...
While I doubt that they be able to cause any harm, I am super weary of Tencent and any of their actions, since they're participating in China's "Social Credit" system.
It's a bit philosophical. Do you consider an NES to be modded if you put a SMB3 cart into it? (SMB3 cart had an extra MMU on it) What about a famicom with Castlevania 3? (That had a sound chip on it that could output directly through the NES audio)
The NES itself hasn't been modded. I don't consider plugging in a cartridge to be "modding", at least not any more than was already done with the NES.
I was done with Sony after I got burned twice on their consumer hardware. Once with Xperia Play, again on the PS3. With the play, they promised an upgrade to Android 4.0 (yes, this has been a while back), which never materialized. Got burned with the PS3 over OtherOS.
They're not subsidizing Amazon. They were turning a mild profit until they were forced to pre-pay pensions by law instead of acting like any other government or private entity.

The difference is that Microsoft actually installs some of these applications, like Candy Crush.

HTTPS did its job. There was no interception of data between the server and the client. Can't do shit if the server is compromised.

You could not use google's browser and still accept that https is important.
Why not take steps to prevent both from tracking you?
It's not just about securing the data in transit, it prevents tampering (eg. ISP or router injected ads) and tracking (your ISP cannot know what you visited on the site, just that you visited that particular ip and domain)
HTTPS also stops malicious routers (like at a coffee shop or something) from executing MITM attacks.

Notaries in Germany are apparently lawyers. https://guides.library.harvard...

I mean, under US law, the estate must be settled, and if at the end of it all, the balance is negative, nobody automatically inherits it.
Yes, but, in this case it's inheriting _debt_ by default unless you explicitly opt out.
You must do so in a timely manner, in writing, notarized by a lawyer. It's assumed by default that you accept it if you don't do this.
Err, Trademarks, not patents.

Stopped? USPS is still honoring their contract that still makes them money.
In several markets, Amazon already does have their own carrier services known as AMZL. They even market it out as a public courier service in India.
