Huh, I had no idea that's what the black bar was about. I just assumed it was a bodged css rollout every now and then.

I thought “oh, they’ve subtly changed the design of HN for some reason, that’s interesting”.

Longest running AB test ever, people keep seeing the black bar occasionally and we just can't figure out whether it improves engagement. How frustrating!
