Is this why there's a black bar at the top of HN now?



They should make the black bar a clickable link to the relevant HN submission, or make it so that it has alt text that names the person who has dies, or both.


Yes.

> I don't think it's possible to be inclusive of everyone who deserves recognition

The goal is not to be inclusive of everyone that is subjectively regarded as being deserving of recognition. The goal is specifically to celebrate Bob Taylor. Nothing more and nothing less. It is a subjective decision - one which you have no control over - as are many aspects of HN. I applaud HN for continuing with the black bar; the lack of someone getting that bar does not devalue their contribution in any manner.


I am only giving feedback. I shouldn't have taken that shot at Jobs I guess, or maybe people are taking my comment as distracting from this celebration of Bob Taylor's life. Sorry about that, not my intention.
