Google Dublin Employees at Street View
- RyanMcGreal 14y agoIf that picture was taken in Canada, all the faces would be blurred out.
- csmattryder 14y agoI think this is a special case, I have friends who were caught by the car, and they looks like amorphous blobs on Google Street View.
- nchlswu 14y agoThe filtering process actually takes a long time, so my guess is this is an exception for these employees (who probably had to sign waivers)
- mdwelsh 14y agoGoogle is intentionally not blurring the faces on these images. Here's Google's Seattle office, same deal - no faces blurred. http://goo.gl/maps/h5mYC http://goo.gl/maps/h5mYC
- aquarin 14y agoThis is some kind of local filtering rule. If you travel along the street, outside of this small area all people faces are blurred.
- nickpresta 14y agoGoogle Waterloo/Kitchener Office: http://goo.gl/maps/QIKDK http://goo.gl/maps/QIKDK
- mkhalil 14y agoBrings smiles to my face :D nice find!
- Lucadg 14y agoAddress is approximate :)
- makkes 14y agoHamburg, Germany: http://goo.gl/maps/tEXkp http://goo.gl/maps/tEXkp
- mkuhn 14y agoZurich, Switzerland: http://goo.gl/maps/J405K http://goo.gl/maps/J405K

- Tichy 14y agoA bit creepy. Stupid German laws...
- veidr 14y agoTotally! That is technologically impressive (from the machine perspective), and completely creepy (from the human perspective). We have the same laws in Japan; I wonder where else?
- amurmann 14y agoWhy is it stupid? Some people value their privacy and that's something that's more wide spread in Germany.
- peterwwillis 14y agoThey should print out pictures of faces of German politicians who enacted the law and wear them as masks in protest
- sasoon 14y agoSo this is the place my Google check comes from :-) (Gordon House)
- citricsquid 14y agoThe most interesting thing for me is that is a representation of $160,000,000 outgoing a year for Google and presumably even more in (assuming the average employee makes $80k/year and that there are 2,000 people working at that building).
- raverbashing 14y agoThe average employee there certainly takes less home per year and also pays a hefty income tax.
- dasil003 14y agoIncome tax is irrelevant to Google's cost. So is take-home pay to some extent. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
- rmc 14y agoIt's important for the Irish tax income, and the Irish economy. Why do you think Ireland has a low corporate tax rate.
- corin_ 14y agoBut nobody was discussing the Irish economy, hence why it isn't really relevant.
- raverbashing 14y agoClose, but no cigar Take home pay should be competitive with other companies and guarantee a certain standard of living So salaries are higher for a competitive take home pay. But the lower corporate tax ends up making things even. I was only saying the value mentioned by the parent was off, that's all.
- spydum 14y agoThe guy with the horse head or mask on is my favorite.
- guard-of-terra 14y agohttp://maps.yandex.ru/-/CVeyBZJD http://maps.yandex.ru/-/CVeyBZJD Another set up photo on the street - a tribute to Beatles cover.
- smikhanov 14y agoAnd someone still asks if it's a good place to work (currently on homepage): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4459412 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4459412
- amurmann 14y agoYay, a bunch of people took a photo of themselves! I am so glad it made it to the top on HN!
- timothya 14y agoHere's the view in Mountain View (main campus): http://goo.gl/maps/YphAI http://goo.gl/maps/YphAI
- peterwwillis 14y agoInvisible rope tug-of-war on the right!
- peterwwillis 14y agoAm I the only person who thought this becomes creepy when you zoom in?
- kjf 14y agoThis street is Barrow Street in the docklands area of Dublin. They've only just recently purchased the building opposite this HQ which goes by by the name of The Montevetro Bulding. Goole are set to rename it...wait for it...Google Docks.
- raverbashing 14y agoWell, if they could buy the street they would probably rename it Google Drive
