This also works with SN, as imgprxy.stacker.news seems to use CloudFront.
You can roughly locate another user by commenting where you expect only him to read it (first), including a unique image. You wait until the user has loaded the image, then query all CloudFront caches to see which one served it, giving a rough location as per the article.
If you didn't use Tor or VPN to hide your location (because you trusted @k00b to not divulge it), now maybe you should.
