  Yes, that's it, but I'm more concerned with what happened to what was basically an eloquent tribute to Hal that was upvoted by 200 people, and included comments by several people who knew Hal.

    It looks like it got severely penalized and is now somewhere around page 7. https://news.ycombinator.com/news?p=7 https://news.ycombinator.com/news?p=7

      Oh, one thread degenerated into a ridiculous cryogenics debate. That's sad, I wish people on both sides of that debate had chosen to show Hal the same respect that other software pioneers were given when they passed away and were featured on HN. Especially considering how much he and other early cypherpunks pioneered privacy-enhancing software that so many of us have benefited from (PGP and Bitcoin, to name two).
