We're talking about evidence in a discrimination court case that points to an IP address associated with a company that visited /family.htm around the time someone applied for a job they didn't get. Like, that person went through their blog's access.log when they got home, defeatedly looking up IP addresses, and going "aha, jackpot!"? And everyone in the company hovers links to be sure they don't go to /as-a-black-man.htm during the hiring process? And the fear seriously is that prefetching might be what spurs this chain of events?

That sounds batshit insane.

Yes, I can't see how anyone could think this is sane in any sense. Brb putting my kids in my GitHub profile picture.

Just go right for the kill and put your marital status, ethnicity, and sexual preferences right below your name on your resume. That way they're trapped the instant they open it!

A while back I saw a chrome extension that hid profile pictures on GitHub specifically for this reason.
