I don't have time to go geolocate this right at the second, but I bet someone might recognize this postcard (1940's) -- labeled "Unidentified Californian Hillside"
Looks like an estate/mansion/castle, consistent with Lockwod Valley/Frazier Park/Gorman/Lake Hughes/Leona Valley/Acton (perhaps farther South), IMHO.

@sbourne Hey, look, those building on the left still exists!
It looks like the two buildings in the middle, however (which were built over the river?) may have been removed. I suspect they were using the river to power machinery for the factory.

Strava’s #geolocation causes yet another national security incident this week as bodyguards in #Sweden map their run performances for the world to admire.
This problem has happened before, with the #PerverseIncentives of the #gamification and #privacy permutations that violate the least-surprise #ux principle. Here’s how to turn these privacy leaks off: https://lifehacker.com/health/stravas-heatmap-privacy-problem

Lifehacker · Why Strava Is a Privacy Risk for the President (and You Too)Strava is a hugely popular, and really nicely featured, running and cycling app. It’s oumyr pick for the best running app, despite its flaws. But it’s always had serious privacy issues, including the one just reported by French newspaper Le Monde—it allegedly revealed the locations of world leaders via their bodyguards’ Strava accounts.
Strava, Strava, Strava..
Då "fitness-appar" varit på tapeten "ganska länge" (t ex när amerikansk militärs närvaro kunde påvisas "där det inte skulle finnas någon"), hur f-n kan memot inte nått SÄPO?

Schneier on Security · Surveillance Used by a Drug Cartel - Schneier on SecurityOnce you build a surveillance system, you can’t control who will use it: A hacker working for the Sinaloa drug cartel was able to obtain an FBI official’s phone records and use Mexico City’s surveillance cameras to help track and kill the agency’s informants in 2018, according to a new US justice department report. The incident was disclosed in a justice department inspector general’s audit of the FBI’s efforts to mitigate the effects of “ubiquitous technical surveillance,” a term used to describe the global proliferation of cameras and the thriving trade in vast stores of communications, travel, and location data...

CW guesses or answers. Be as precise as possible.
Wish this feature was added. But alas, the issue is almost 9 years old.
It would also be a really cool step into the direction of a Swarm/Foursquare-like check-in app for the Fediverse.

This CBC article (a free ad for a company trying to make location information closed and proprietary) contains exactly one useful bit of information, in a quote from a U Waterloo prof:
"I'm also wondering why the 911 operator couldn't have just pinged their phone and then relayed the [latitude and longitude] to police?" he also said in an email to CBC News.
