Looking at Google Cache, it seems like we all have it today. It is a table row with a column containing an image to a 0x5px gif https://news.ycombinator.com/s.gif

Looking at the an archive from two weeks ago does not show the black bar https://web.archive.org/web/20170331001927/https://news.ycombinator.com/

Does anyone know what it is and why it is not always there?
