She was a founder, influential and one of the most liked people in the world. Seems fine to me.

Ok, I learned something.

I mean, her name ringed a bell, but it does not seem like her popularity crossed the Atlantic (not as much as other artist, I mean.)

Again, I have nothing against her, but I was surprised.

She’s one of the few people in the US who was loved across the political spectrum.

I guess it's not only AI that hints at the end of working 9 to 5...

For some weird reason HN really likes to talk about US celebrities after they die. Hulk Hogan got a big discussion thread too.

Also idk why your polite question has been downvoted.

Yeah, but at least I could "get" the Hogan discussion on HN, because of the Peter Thiel connection.

But I also understand how the comment might have rubbed many people the wrong way, given how she seems to be one of the last few "generally" liked people in the USA.
