I’ve always imagined that the decision to have a black bar or not was a curated decision by HN insiders.
Is this not the case? Does the black bar show for anyone with “.. has died” over a certain threshold of points?
Super curious as to how the bar is determined.
- taejavu 3y agoDefinitely curated. Seems to be based on significant contributions to computing as a field.
- tough 3y agoMost of HN is -manually- curated good stories get put on a second chance pool and dang can pick them manually moderators keep this place alive.
