So the HN operator sees someone using this browser, with this timezone. Then I go to some other site. Let's pretend that site's operator and HN's are identical. How will they know that I'm the same guy who went to HN? How does he know there aren't two people who use the browser in the same timezone (and the other one doesn't go to HN)?
