Exactly. An excellent recruiter will build up a pool of candidates and clients who want to work with them, and will start their own agency where the compensation is usually a multiple of what they'd get in-house.

In-house recruiters tend to be one of:

* HR professionals who do some recruitment as part of their job

* A surprising number of people who end up taking on some recruitment responsibilities as part of their secretarial or admin work, and then end up doing it full-time

* Agency recruiters who didn't enjoy or could cut it being agency recruiters

I know a small number of excellent internal recruiters, but they're really the exception not the rule.

> How do you know if you have a good [recruiter]? If they've been a third party recruiter for more than 3 years, they're probably bad. The good ones typically become recruiters are large companies.

That's ... that's not at all how that works.

> If Alladin is not racist, neither is Dr. Seuss

If you’ve seen both Alladin and the cartoons in question, it’s hard to believe you’re commenting in good faith.

Answer is right there in the article: it cannibalized more expensive router sales.

> Tesla was founded (as Tesla Motors) on July 1, 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in San Carlos, California ... A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five (Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk and Straubel) to call themselves co-founders

> This actively makes it seem like the sound is coming from a certain place

vs surround sound:

> able to create the sensation of sound coming from any horizontal direction

Having been using spatial audio for a few days, the effect is surround sound. What’s clever is it works regardless of where your device is

Thanks for the heads up, that’s worth checking out. Think I’m on my fourth set of ear pads at this point!

If I buy these, it’ll be in addition to my “stuff in pocket and go” headphones. I listen to music while working literally all day, and my needs for the item that provides that is pretty different from what I want at the gym or if I am meeting a friend and want something for the journey.

It means surround sound in headphones

Guess it’s going to at least somewhat depend on how important spatial audio turns out to be. My QC35s are on their last legs, and I’m certainly pretty curious about these having just ordered some AirPod Pros...

Dunno, I’m not sure I’ve ever loved a company enough that I wouldn’t take a six month windfall not to leave?

> For all you know, your government is running that VPN you’re using

The NSA is simply not most people's threat model, and if they _are_ running it, it probably means that someone shadier is not. I'm using a VPN because I don't want my ISP to see what I'm browsing, don't want end sites to know who I am, want to watch American Netflix, and because the country I'm in tries to block all adult sites. The NSA is welcome to all of this traffic _shrug_

> I don't have the level of contempt for my fellow Americans that you have

I was going to ignore this as an obvious troll, but I'll take a stab at it. Rural Americans aren't the problem, America is the problem, but some of that is made up for by the cities.

Rural America has the same terrible public transit, the same grotesque healthcare problems, generally appalling internet and cellphone, the same incredible incarceration rate, the same terrible problem with opioids, the same terrifyingly divisive politics, the same endemic racial divide, the same problem with gun violence as the rest of the US, except that some of the cities have made some headway with these problems.

If y'all lost New York, LA and the Bay Area, GDP would fall by ~25%, and you'd be just another upper-middle-income country. America's greatness comes from the cities.

Further up in the thread he said he wanted to live in the USA because it’s a Free Country too, so I’m assuming he’s not being entirely serious.

Move to South East Asia instead. Burgeoning tech scene, some incredible nature, dating is considerably easier, both with locals and other expats, health care is first-rate and a couple of orders of magnitude cheaper ... "a rural state" sounds like all the worst bits of living in the US.

A CTO betting the farm on Google’s cloud is displaying reckless naivety. Google’s arrogance towards its customers is legendary.
