It depends what I'm looking for.

If I'm recruiting someone to deliver a single project, with a skillset we don't have in-house, then I'll look for a contractor and I'll focus on skills, delivery and availability.

If I'm recruiting someone to help progress the company, suggest and lead strategic work, fit into and enhance the culture and cope with multiple complex pieces of work at the same time, I'm going to want someone with a track record of working with a large corporation, that understands how they work and how to work effectively within them, and that has the length of service that suggests that at a minimum they could work the system well enough not to get sacked.

It's destructive and expensive employing people that can't fit into a team, or that wont be happy at the company.

No-IP domains are used 93 percent of the time for Bladabindi-Jenxcus infections,

If I set up malware on my home PC and use DynDNS then DynDNS domains are used 100% of the time to serve my malware.

So maybe Microsoft are saying that 93% of infections come via No-IP domains. That might be a tiny fraction of the overall No-IP domains.

What's next, a RICO prosecution for the owners of No-IP?

Or for Microsoft?

I don't get the full detail of your link because Slashdot anti-spam code cuts off the shit at the end.

I also don't need to worry about which site you're linking to as Slashdot helpfully tells me which site the link goes to.

I also don't need you to tell me the link because I'm sensible enough to use a browser that displays the full URL of any links I mouseover.

But hey, paste in the full link if you like. It's lazy and I can't knock that.

Apple makes the vast majority of its $54 billion revenue on gouging its customers and suppliers.

Sorry, no - I'm thinking profit. It makes its revenue on the back of slick marketing.

Ask yourself which company is more likely to sell out your data to advertisers

Doesn't really matter, they're both going to give my data for free to the NSA who will in turn sell it on.

I'd rather take the risk that innocent people suffer through terrorism than that we remove the safeties and balances of justice.

If these individuals are that dangerous then court orders for ubiquitous surveillance will be trivial, and that will provide the evidence of wrongdoing that can be prosecuted in open court.

If they're not that dangerous then set them free.
