Ask HN: What is the name of story about cloning minds, and selling as a product?

3 pointsby augusto-moura3 months ago
I remember a link for a very simple website (meaning no crazy css styles, just simple html), telling a fictional story set in the future, where people minds are fully scanned into a computer, and the intelect of said person gets sold to do other tasks, similar to a service.<p>I specifically remember that the scanned minds were named after the people that &quot;owned&quot; them in the first place. So for example, Joe&#x27;s (fictional name) mind would sell as the &quot;Joe&#x27;s edition&quot;, which was very good at math tasks, while Ana&#x27;s would be a better option for writing books, etc.<p>Does anyone recall the name of such story? Or maybe the link for it? It is a very tricky thing to search on engines, since the story is in a somewhat underground website

Not it because they aren&#x27;t duplicated and resold, but related:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;White_Christmas_(Black_Mirro...</a>
