Not too related, but I wonder how many sites/algorithms were written in a lazy way, making that “I’m not telling you where I am” circle centred perfectly around their address. So while it is designed to look like your address could be anywhere within the circle, I bet that with most of them you just have to put a pin into their exact geometric centre.

I bet you there’s at least one that adds an offset to the user’s address, but, like, a random one every time you load the page, so you could get their address by averaging. And at least one other one that adds a fixed random offset, but does so in the frontend.

Wow, that’s somewhat better, I guess.

Aaaah, interesting, thanks! Notes taken as well: put a fuzzinator on your distance function, as well.

Not an uninteresting idea and potentially true but without researching it, just speculation.

I don’t get why someone downvoted you, but yes, of course it’s just speculation. I merely said it would be worth looking into it.
