Ask HN: What's the black bar at the top of HN?
I've noticed this bar above the orange header of HN, but it's only there about once a month or so (maybe less?).
It seems to contain an image (s.gif, served from this domain), is it some sort of local analytics tracker?

Sort of like a black armband, for the website.
I appreciate it!

I'm going to take a wild guess that it's not time-limited. Instead, I believe that the mods put a special tag on the story that makes the bar visible for as long as that story remains on the home page.
