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.
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.
