Jobs That No Longer Exist
- theyinwhy 9y agoBesides the inaccuracies in this "article" the copyright notice underneath the photos is a joke. Showing Marry Poppins with the copyright notice "imgur" just leaves you speechless.
- exikyut 9y agoI once read through a (printed) community-service-related publication and noticed that the images were apparently "(c) Google Images". On the one hand I wonder if I'm staring at malicious compliance masquerading as plausible deniability, but then the thing with google image search happened, and... I don't know anymore. I REALLY REALLY miss the "find similar" button in GIS though. -- As for the article itself, this appears to be standard pinterest/facebook-rate fare - writing to generate ad impressions. The "why it went away" in #18 is patently false. I'm honestly impressed at the ads and tracking, at least; the ads are served without iframes and don't use 100% CPU, and the continuous tracking (? that seems to be what it is) is only using a few Kbps.
- theyinwhy 9y agoHaha, totally. I am honestly impressed how that "article" made it to hackernews.
- megamindbrian2 9y agoFARMERS The Job: plant seeds, pick or pull the edible part of the plant when ready. Who Did It: most Americans, families of men, women, and children. Why It Went Away: hubris, the onset of the apocalypse, functions replaced by insecure machines.
