People should know that even if you never tell them your current salary, they can often just look it up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29834753

I know they can. I see no reason why I should volunteer information they can find on their own with a little effort on their part. If I have to research a corporation to get a job, they can damn well do some due diligence before trying to hire me.
That’s good to know. However, if someone wants to recruit me, they will need to offer significantly more than my current gig. Otherwise, I will simply not accept the offer.
