Max-20's comments

Max-20 | 4 years ago | on: 30 days ago I was an Apple employee

The very first "scandal" she uncovered at Apple was her getting feedback on a presentation from another employee. She called it sexism and publicly shared private messages which basically proofed it was just that, professional feedback.

It looks a lot like this is a mental health issue rather than actual wrongdoings at Apple. What she is doing now might really harm her ability to ever get hired again by a company in SV.

Reading the comments here makes me think nobody even bothered to read the article.

Right in the first half they mentioned that there was a physical representation of the illness in the brain tissue when they did a MRI scan.

This is NOT a shared paranoia, because you can't see them on a brain scan. This seems like a very real and frightening disease.

There is a trivial way to just analyze the metadata of pictures and videos. If you take a picture and upload it, it has a lot of information that comes along with it vs. if you just download it from a random website and re-upload it. That would catch only the most obvious attempts, for more advanced filtering I would use machine learning.

You are correct that its a big task, but if one would take it step by step and start with pictures only I am pretty sure you could come up with a decent success rate.

I have the same problem at the moment, I am working with a 4.5 year old MacBook Pro and asking myself when replacing is actually increasing my productivity rather than just a luxury to have a shiny new laptop.
