There&#x27;s a black bar on HN pages, I don&#x27;t think it was there earlier today.  From view source it looks like it&#x27;s a 1x1 image called &quot;s.gif&quot;.  What&#x27;s up with that?  Is this a new thing HN does when a famous hacker dies?
Ask HN: What's up with the black bar at the top of HN?
