The "asshole" in this case is JWZ, [randomly?] switching on the Referer header. Apparently he has a hard-on for HN; he's not the only one, but I won't be linking to his site again. (Although, is that really "obscene"? It doesn't do anything for me?) Try this instead, since Stanford are unlikely to engage in such shenanigans:

https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs240/old/sp2014/readings/wor...

It's funny, my original comment had the links in plaintext so copying-and-pasting was required and Referer wasn't involved. I changed that on request. b^)
