The link is 451 for me: “Unavailable due to legal reasons”. The specifics:
We recognize you are attempting to access this website from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA) including the EU which enforces the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and therefore access cannot be granted at this time.

Prima facie that looks like bullshit, but recognising that doesn’t get me the web page. Time I looked into a VPN account. Any suggestions?
BTW, mousing over the same link on your web page gives me a popup saying “Too many requests”, which none of the others do. What’s up there?
Instead of a VPN, you can use Tor Browser for this. I just tried it, and though it may take a few relaunches, Tor Browser will eventually connect via an exit node in a non-EU country, and you’ll be able to visit the site. (It does also work fine for me without Tor, of course, as I am in the U.S.)
EDIT: As for the “too many requests” thing, that’s an artifact of gwern’s link-preview-generating setup; this is one of the occasional failure modes. Nothing terribly special going on there—the feature is still a bit experimental, is all, and has the occasional kink. No doubt gwern will fix this one soon.
My favorite example is teddy bears:

Archive.org seems to me like the most straightforward way to handle cases like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20190415082549/https://www.times-news.com/cnhi_network/how-those-plush-easter-bunnies-got-so-cuddly/article_8e6a93c7-fbe4-5735-9d94-9426f0b3d164.html
