I thought it was HN-worthy because of the privacy implications.

Actually, that's fair and makes complete sense. My bad. It's just sad to see it devolve into yet another "Japan is crazy" party :(

The privacy implications are, I agree, interesting...

No worries, there are other submissions on HN where it is the exact opposite: "Japan is the best!".

Any thoughts on how he did it? Was it one photo that gave it all away, or did it take information from multiple photos being pieced together?

How did he go from having a picture to knowing the location? Guess & test?
