The 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).
The average employee there certainly takes less home per year and also pays a hefty income tax.
Income tax is irrelevant to Google's cost. So is take-home pay to some extent. I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Close, 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.

And someone still asks if it's a good place to work (currently on homepage): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4459412
This 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.
Well, if they could buy the street they would probably rename it Google Drive

A bit creepy. Stupid German laws...
Totally! 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?

They should print out pictures of faces of German politicians who enacted the law and wear them as masks in protest
Why is it stupid? Some people value their privacy and that's something that's more wide spread in Germany.

Another set up photo on the street - a tribute to Beatles cover.
Here's the view in Mountain View (main campus): http://goo.gl/maps/YphAI
Invisible rope tug-of-war on the right!
Brings smiles to my face :D nice find!
Yay, a bunch of people took a photo of themselves! I am so glad it made it to the top on HN!
If that picture was taken in Canada, all the faces would be blurred out.

The filtering process actually takes a long time, so my guess is this is an exception for these employees (who probably had to sign waivers)
Google 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

I 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.
This is some kind of local filtering rule. If you travel along the street, outside of this small area all people faces are blurred.
So this is the place my Google check comes from :-) (Gordon House)
The guy with the horse head or mask on is my favorite.
Address is approximate :)
Am I the only person who thought this becomes creepy when you zoom in?
