There's nothing on the page but a few logos and JS. The page is just a bit of script that loads data from AWS. Even if you "view source", there's no text to see. So "graceful degradation" means you see everything on the page that isn't script :)

Disabling JavaScript is silly in 2013.

Using HTTP to download javascript that then does an AJAX request to fetch static content that is converted by javascript to HTML. Is silly in any year. It's also quite slow (which is ironic for a page talking about improving responsiveness)
