> I can tell you it's because he's actually a very skilled engineer. He will blow the interviews completely out of the water. Easily top 1% or top 0.1% of candidates -- other startups will tell you this as well.

It is hilarious that companies that hired a guy who was scamming them are also convinced they are great at assessing the skill level of devs.

I had been a Economist subscriber for almost 20 years. But then gradually I realized that their reporting on some issues are extremely biased and they conveniently skip reporting some facts to match their intended narrative and lead the reader to distorted conclusions. So I would assume they would be doing the same with other topics as well. I did not renew my subscription.

You can't expect Russia to admit that SU30 and MiG29 were shot down by Pakistan.

When all the potential hard evidence is in India and tightly controlled, of course it impacts your (and everyone else’s) ability to get evidence. According to CNN people had to delete video evidence of jet crashes, and journalists weren’t allowed to get anywhere close.

Ask your government to uncensor the Internet and you’ll probably get plenty of credible evidence in addition to the partial confirmation by the French side and anonymous local officials. According to CNN both sides are smart enough to not cross the border so that an undeniable parade of wreckage like the one in 2019 can’t happen this time round.

It’s your country, I’m just a neutral on the outside. If you want to take the stance of “fake news”, “no evidence of that” unless India publicly admits it, by all means. I don’t count on that happening though because there’s obviously “appease the domestic population” going on.
