My guess is East Antarctica. An old geology map.

The 'A' is interesting.

Steering Mobility Data to a Better #Privacy Regime

Cars today collect a lot more data than they used to, often leaving drivers' privacy unprotected. Car insurance is mainly regulated at the state level—there’s no federal privacy law for car data—but unsurprisingly there is an active government and private market for vehicle data, including location data, which is difficult if not impossible to deidentify

@ai6yr

Here's an interesting #GeoLoc problem.

Based upon my knowledge of the terrain, I am going say this U-2 pic was taken over western Missouri, east of KC. And the plane was heading esst. If this is correct, it was probably near noon CST.

tt was a totally clear day over Missouri on 2023-02-03 when I could see it from NE of Washington, Missouri. Albeit, not this clearly.

Any thoughts?

New Mobile Phone Service Shows We Can Have Both #Privacy and Nice Things

Location data is so sensitive that the Supreme Court agreed with the #ACLU that law enforcement should not be able to obtain it from the carriers without a #warrant.

The service has some limitations. It covers data only, not voice calls.

this is the place:
46.5941, 32.5992
#geoloc
it can only reached by boat, so I highly doubt it was an ammo depot. more like a hiding place for a russian recon / drone operating team which UAF tried to eliminate. These wooden huts don't provide any shelter from artillery so I guess they achieved their goal.

google earth view of the location being shelled in the video. note the three fingers in top right corner and the traverse at the bottom which can be seen in the video.google earth map showing the location being shelled in the video, zoomed further out to show distance to Kherson.
