It's my fault. I use HTTPS Everywhere in full HTTP blocking mode, so when a link isn't HTTPS I just try manually, and accept the error for common Akamai and Github Pages certs, which is still much better than HTTP (for random sites). But then I ended up submitting that broken link. The interesting thing is that it reached the top (#4 right now) of HN anyway.
