Ask HN: How to check who the black bar is honoring?

I noticed the black bar is up today and I don't see any death posts. Is there an easy way to see who this is honoring? It would be nice to have a feature that on hover said who it was or something of the like.

I had the same Problem. Had to check all the headlines until I found it one page back.

I would also like this feature.

I could be wrong (and probably am) but I think the black bar stays up for 24 hours.

So it is not surprising if the article moved to the second page when the person does not have instant name recognition.

Like a lot of things on HN, despite being enough effort that someone might complain, going to the second page is not a terrible inconvenience for the minimally curious.

The article was up all day yesterday, but the bar only appeared today.

To me that makes some sense because the news had to break first…
