Adding new historical obituaries specifically to address the issue that those other than White men were historically ignored in that section of the paper certainly seems at least related to a currently active area of identity politics.

Not that I think the comment on politics usually getting flagged was useful or necessarily accurate.

Most people, me included, come to Hacker News for their tech-related news specifically because they don't want to see these kinds of useless, clickbaity, virtue signalling pieces.

It's certainly not clickbait by any convention that I know that term. It's only useless to those of us who already knew about Lovelace's contributions. But, like many reposted articles, I'm content to let them lie for the sake of other HNers who haven't seen it yet.

I enjoy articles like these, personally.

Looks like we’ve all hit the root issue. I enjoyed the article.
