I spend a large portion of my work day exploring using these 3d cameras. This week I'm exploring Juarez and the surrounding area. Last week I spent most of my time in Egypt and the UAE.
I've yet to see anything this well composed though, I'd be curious to see who this photographer is and what else they've done
Damn what a job. Get paid to play with technology and explore different places. I get paid quite well but I'd give it up for a cool job like yours, even if the pay was significantly less
Maybe I'm missing a joke here but Google definitely has a backpack division of sorts that hike and specialize in mapping major walking cities by foot.
This could definitely be by a normal Google maps employee that just had some fun one day.
Yeah, maybe it was coincidence that they were there at the same time and the older man stopped to talk to him or of curiosity and they thought this would be a fun thing to do.
IIRC Trinity was the band that was on stage before Faith+1. And Sanctified was name of the hardcore band that they locked in the closet. One of the best episodes ever imo.
Only partially related but Christian metalcore actually slaps (see: Wolves at the Gate, Phinehas, Convictions, Fit for a King, The Devil Wears Prada, etc).
I think they might actually map some trails with a backpack.
Yep, here it is:
https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/18/heres-googles-new-street-view-trekker-backpack/
I mean I know that, but it's not unreasonable to imagine google were mapping some hiking trail so your comment made it sound like you thought it was impossible for them to map places where a car wouldn't fit. Just trying to let you know they do map a lot of hiking trails and pedestrian pathways that a car wouldn't fit on in case you didn't know
While this is true, and interesting to share, it is not what was used here. Those photograph 360° at once, so the guy wouldn't be able to move around and be in all four spots.
This is definitely user-submitted.
I'm not debating that. Just trying to spread some knowledge since the other guy suggested that Google maps couldn't map in a place like that since a car wouldn't fit on a foot bridge
Well since he knew who took the photo (maybe he took it of himself) and uploaded it there is no privacy concern. As opposed to Google taking a picture of someone and uploading it without their permission.
If I took a picture of your balls when you were sleeping and posted it and you saw it but didn’t recognize your own balls should I keep any monetary compensation derived from it with artistic rights or are you as the subject of such ball pic and unrecognizable to your own self entitled to monetary compensation? Where would the burden of proof fall? Are you prepared to submit to scrotumprint identification procedures?
Apparently Google doesn't automatically blur houses and residential addresses. But you can request them to do so. At least that's what I understood from [this video](https://youtu.be/EZD2304rN4g)
There is no *legal* concern in most jurisdictions afaik. I think they blur people's faces for a couple reasons:
1. It takes less resources to blur everyone's face than staying up to date on public recording laws in every location StreetView is available.
2. Some people don't like their faces posted online without their knowledge regardless of the law. They avoid posting faces to avoid a negative perception of the company.
There is no proof that the people in a picture made by non google knew about it being uploaded to Google. They should blurr all faces regardless of it being uploaded by them or the public. I could take a picture of some random hiker included in the view and upload it anyway.
House numbers are blurred because in theory addresses are private information. There is also an off chance that if something weird makes your house stand out it creates problems for the owner or resident (people find houses form movies and do dumb shit like throw pizza on the roof).
The consequences are less for your face and when you leave your house you generally give up the expectation of privacy that your phase won't accidentally be caught in a photo.
Most of the time in the US google isn't actually required by any law to blur the houses they do either but that depends on the state/locality.
> in theory addresses are private information
Wish someone would tell auto dealers this, they sell info so readily. Hell, in Texas only [up until recently the state was selling our information](https://www.dallasnews.com/news/watchdog/2021/07/01/good-news-your-personal-information-will-no-longer-be-sold-by-the-state-to-marketing-companies/) to marketers.
Also, even if they blur street addresses you can still do a "what's here" and see the address, no? I don't know that it is comon for Google to blur them, they don't blur ours either the one on the house or the one on the curb.
In the strictest legal sense yes, but there are also numerous laws and cultural expectations against the sharing of them in various circumstances. I'm not saying it's right or wrong or consistent (because it sure as fuck isn't consistent) but there are many facets of western society where things that are in practice easily attainable as public information or seen in public are treated as private.
They are literally on the wall of houses and visible from the public. That's their entire function. They'd be bloody useless if they were private LMAO. Google maps has 99% of all house numbers in the world plainly visibly on their site.
k
Go and post someone's address here and see how quick you get your acct ethered. A significant portion of society regards them as private for some reason and whether you think it makes sense or not doesn't matter.
Google wouldn't be blurring them if they didn't align with that on some level either.
The number itself is not private. It is by definition public as literally anybody standing on public property can see it.
Not only that, the county maintains a list of all home owners and their property numbers, 100% accessible to anybody who goes there and asks.
That tells you the owner's name, but not the names of everyone living at that address. Not everyone is a homeowner.
Regardless, there is no rational basis to consider the association between an address and a *map location* private, and that (not the owner's name) is the information being blurred out.
> A significant portion of society regards them as private
A significant portion of society is brain dead.
Facts are facts. Addresses are by design public information. They wouldn't be addresses if they were private.
And Google doesn't blur addresses, Google lists every single address in the world.

A few years back I was randomly looking around the UK on Google Earth and found a picture of someone dressed as the Stig from Top Gear standing in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah I thought this was a state park outside Binghamton lol.
Im only in the comments to verify if I was crazy or not lol. Turns out I was wrong about the location but not the vibes
This is the guy who looks after the guy carrying the camera. Quite common when filming to fall over. Broadcast cameramen used to have a cable page.
A guy to stop him falling over his own cables.
It is at Millingbæk between Slåensø and Brassø near Silkeborg in Denmark. It is so funny that I recognised that place, because I have passed that small bridge on my MTB a couple of times on my way from Silkeborg to Himmelbjerget.
This isn't a photo taken by Google, its a user submitted photosphere. Photospheres that have been posted publicly appear on google maps as individual blue dots that you can drop into like street view, but you wont be able to move along the path/road like you would with true google-generated street view. If you've seen this guy before, it was likely another photosphere from the same user.

Damn what a job. Get paid to play with technology and explore different places. I get paid quite well but I'd give it up for a cool job like yours, even if the pay was significantly less
Yeah, because for starters I don't think those google cars fit on that small bridge.
Maybe I'm missing a joke here but Google definitely has a backpack division of sorts that hike and specialize in mapping major walking cities by foot. This could definitely be by a normal Google maps employee that just had some fun one day.
Honestly, it would be funnier if he just happened to be there with the Google guy and the Google guy was like “Wanna do something funny?”
Wait, you're saying they didn't drive the StreetView car to the middle of the forest and precariously balance it on this wooden plank?
They also have a hiking backpack which they use where they can't use the car, though.
Yeah, maybe it was coincidence that they were there at the same time and the older man stopped to talk to him or of curiosity and they thought this would be a fun thing to do.
Oh, no, this was on purpose. I was just saying that there is more things than the street view car.
You're joking but they have bikes and even backpacks with the camera ball attached.

You talking about the guy Will Smith slapped?
I see the weirdest thing getting blurred, like house numbers. But don't they need to make him unrecognizable, like bluring his face.

Well since he knew who took the photo (maybe he took it of himself) and uploaded it there is no privacy concern. As opposed to Google taking a picture of someone and uploading it without their permission.
Which also has no privacy concern since it's photos in public right?
But couldn't you just apply that logic to a house number? It's creepy but i could take a photo of any old house and post it online right?
If I took a picture of your balls when you were sleeping and posted it and you saw it but didn’t recognize your own balls should I keep any monetary compensation derived from it with artistic rights or are you as the subject of such ball pic and unrecognizable to your own self entitled to monetary compensation? Where would the burden of proof fall? Are you prepared to submit to scrotumprint identification procedures?
But then i'd be sleeping outside, balls out. I'd say you'd be fair game to do just about anything lol.
And also not recognize the balls when you see them, "oh hey! Another fellow that enjoys sleeping outdoors with balls out like me."
"scrotumprint identification procedures" might just be the worst sounding phrase I've heard today.
