Ask HN: Black bar is confusing make it clickable to person's death

Please e-mail the mods (link is in the footer) instead of posting if you want to tell/suggest them something, they don't see all posts.

ok, thanks, will do next time. I see they've already removed the black bar so good for now I guess.

Another good option would be to use the alt="" popover to display the person's name.

Can’t popover on mobile.

I was also under the impression that the black bar was for Nancy Grace Roman.

It was probably for Larry Roberts, one of the designers of Arpanet (the precursor of today's internet):

I cleaned browser cache to fix it. didn't work.

I'm not sure that will be much better, sometimes more than 1 person dies. I'd vote to stop the black bar practice anyway, who decides who "deserves" to get it?
