The link as given fails to load in Firefox 54.0 with the “Secure Connection Failed” error message (and, notably, Firefox doesn’t offer me an obvious way to make an exception for this site). The link does work if you replace the https:// with the plain http://
Update: I checked from another location and everything works properly. I’m now inclined to blame the firewall or, more precisely, some interaction between this particular site’s TLS and this particular firewall.
It works for me in Firefox 53.0.3, Firefox 54.0, and Chrome 58.0.3029.110.
(All 32-bit on Windows. I tested it both by clicking on the link, which goes through Less Wrong’s redirect.viglink.com thing, and by entering the [https] readthesequences link in the address bar.)
The only weird thing is that after I upgraded to Firefox 54, the “TLS handshake” step of loading the page took a long time—ten seconds or so—a couple times, but it’s not doing that now.
Vigilink is blocked in my browser, so there is no redirect.
At the moment both Firefox 54.0 and whatever the latest Chrome is give me a “reset connection error” for https but are perfectly happy to display the site via http.
I’m behind a firewall at the moment so it’s possible that it’s playing games, but I don’t know why it would treat https and http differently (https in general works perfectly fine behind this firewall).

False alarm, switch off the sprinklers :-)
Hmm, interesting. I can’t reproduce this issue (Chrome 58.0.3029.110 / Firefox 54.0 / Opera 45.0.2552.888 / Safari 10.0.1 on Mac; Chrome 59.0.3071.86 / Firefox 47.0 on Linux).
Is anyone else getting this?
