What's the deal with all these $ symbols?

It's TeX and you have Javascript off.

If all else fails you might be able to use this MathJax bookmarklet that’s used on the stackexchange chat http://www.math.ucla.edu/~robjohn/math/mathjax.html.

Assuming you have JavaScript disabled, that is latex notation.

I'm too seeing raw $ markup. Nothing's blocked, no console errors, but there's a "425 No Reason Phrase" response for https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax..., not sure if it's relevant. That's in recent Firefox.

More specifically, when I open the page by clicking on the HN link or copy-pasting the URL into the bar and pressing Enter, the page renders OK. If I am to reload the page with Ctrl-R after that, it shows up in raw $ markup and no amount of refreshing helps. Furthermore, full reload (via Ctrl-Refresh) yields that 425 response.

Just FYI.

I have not disabled JS, no console errors and all privacy extensions are turned off.

edit: it's loaded now just fine, odd.
