Luiz André Barroso died last weekend. News broke last night, and fell off the front page by the time the US woke up. I'm guessing a lot of people who would have wanted to didn't see it.
We all like new stuff, but it's a shame how much timing matters on these sites.
A quick search first to read any of the numerous Ask HN:'s of similar topics would help.
or you need to follow an aggregator of top posts from the day on twitter or social whatever like betterHN etc so you see that this was already 100 upvotes in when you posted.

HN at like 5-8am EDT can be kinda great. A lot of random but interesting stuff gets to the front page for brief times.
Wow, I did not see this! Thanks!
