Can we have link to the person bio/page when we have a black bar?

The link is still there but is black so you can’t see it. Do you have in mind changing this link color ? Then you may add a css stylesheet to HN, depending on your browser there’s extensions to do that for you.

What if we at least add text to the alt tag on the spacer image in the black bar? Just make the width 100% and give it a title attribute so you can see it on hover? Maybe dupe for the alt as well. It could also be a link to a relevant article or news.

Or to the HN submission.

OP is correct. It needs context. /Two/ prominent tech people have passed. It would be useful to know which the black bar is referencing, or is it referencing both?
