  1. Just like the "simple" jobs... on Increasing the Value of the Domestic IT Worker? · · Score: 1

    What's happening now, has for years been happening in the automotive industry, construction, agriculture (The Netherlands). As long as companies try to out-price one another, they will move their industry to an cheaper enviroment. To counter this, you will have to be innovative, and think of new things to develop. Just being quote "better than 75% of the people out there" isn't good enough. If you costs 7 times as much, two programmers, instead of one, in Bangalore can do the same thing you do. It's sad but true, and I have to confess, when factorys like Philips moved to Taiwan, I didn't complain, because it wasn't my job on the line. Now it is, and I'm sorry I didn't saw it back then.

  2. Very old news... on Hack Your Car · · Score: 1

    Here in the Netherlands changing or upgrading the chip for engine-management is common for the faster Diesel engines and so on. I don't know why the New York Times is publishing this rather old news now, in stead of 3 years ago when it was a big hype...
