It helps the fact that the vast majority of people on HN are against any project that use cryptocurrencies.

Not only that, but also the 4800U is Zen 2. The Zen 3 mobile processor (series 5000) are not here yet.

The only thing they said is that they "are building upon Android". I think it could both means that they are using Android as an OS or that they built some kind of WSL-like subsystem. The latter scenario is more interesting because it would open up the possibility to run UWP apps that can also run on Windows 10 X, both leveraging the two screens.
Re:The New Treasures of Pompeii on Friday August 23, 2019 @12:45PM (#20779429)
I've been there in July, visited them both in the same day: Herculaneum in the morning and Pompeii the afternoon. Is impossible to visit everything in Pompeii only the afternoon, in fact we went only in the most famous places but we completely missed the most northern part. I think that in a full day is possible to visit a lot of it, but it depends how much you want to stop and listen to the audioguide (highly recommended). Herculaneum is fine visiting it in the morning, you can enter on each and every house, read the textbook that explain a lot about it, etc. A few advice: prepare yourself for a lot of walking under the sun, those places are really hot (especially in July). In Pompeii there aren't many places to rest in the shade since almost every house have no roof, but there are some fountains where you can fill a water bottle.

On another note you should really spend 2-3 days in Naples, a city which I found (unexpectedly) very interesting and fascinating.

Finally you should really make this card [0], it allows you to take every train, metro, bus, funicular railway, from Naples to Sorrento and allows you to enter for free in the first two cultural sites that you visit. So I recommend you to go first in the two Roman cities and save a few money that you can invest in good pizzas :).

This is the experience with the `privacy.resistFingerprinting` flag set to true. A while back I made a few try to see how the behavior change with different settings and extensions, you can see the result here: https://github.com/google/recaptcha/issues/268#issuecomment-...

I solved the problem by using an extension that toggle that flag: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-resist...
