"I Was Pissed": Founder Reveals How Hiring Soham Parekh Drained His Resources

A tech startup founder who hired Soham Parekh has shared his experience of working with the infamous Silicon Valley engineer who has gone viral for moonlighting at multiple US-based startups. Dhruv Amin, co-founder of Create, an artificial intelligence (AI) "text-to-app" builder, reflected on how hiring Soham was a costly decision that drained his startup's time, resources and energy. "Yes, we hired him. We're building an AI agent in San Francisco. He was eng #5. Recommended by a recruiter, which lent legitimacy. He was eager and crushed our in-person pair programming onsite. I believe he's actually a good engineer," wrote Dhruv on X (formerly Twitter). While Parekh provided references, Dhruv offered him the job, awaiting responses from the previous employers. He also briefly perused Parekh's LinkedIn, GitHub, open source commits and blog posts to get an idea about the employee they were onboarding. After accepting the job offer, Parekh said he ha...

Arvind Kejriwal On The 3 Promises He "Could Not Fulfil"

Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday admitted that he could not fulfil three promises - cleaning of Yamuna river, providing clean drinking water and making Delhi's roads of European standard.

He said these tasks will be carried out in the next five years if AAP is re-elected in the assembly polls.

Addressing a gathering in Laxmi Bai Nagar, Mr Kejriwal reminded people of his promises and assured that the AAP government is working towards their completion.

"I am truthful to my promises. Either I fulfil them or I remind them that I promised but couldn't do it. I could not fulfill three promises - first cleaning the Yamuna, second, providing clean drinking water and third making Delhi's roads of European standards.

Mr Kejriwal said the work of cleaning Yamuna will be accomplished in two to three years.

"A lot of work has been done...Yamuna will be cleaned in the next two to three years. About 24-hour drinking water supply, this has been started in a colony of Rajendra Nagar. I inaugurated it...Now we will do it for all areas of Delhi. We will improve the quality of roads. All these 3 works will be completed in the next five years," he said.

Mr Kejriwal spoke of the AAP government's work for improving schools and the power situation.

"In the summer of 2014, there used to be power cuts for 10 hours. We have made sure that Delhi receives electricity for 24 hours. BJP has government in 20 states yet they don't provide electricity for 24 hours. Delhi also has the cheapest electricity," Mr Kejriwal said.

"We have provided good education to children. No government focused on government schools. We have built amazing government schools. Last year the result of government schools was 99.7 per cent. Private schools had 92 per cent results. I believe there's no bigger patriotic work than providing free and good education," he added.

Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 5 and votes will be counted on February 8.

"Khala Ka Ghar Nahi...": Akhtar On India Having It Easy In Asia Cup Final

While India had rested several key players for the game, including star batter Virat Kohli , Akhtar suggested that it was a embarrassing defeat. Sri Lanka defeated tournament favourties Pakistan to reach the final, and Akhtar feels that winning the final won't be a cakewalk for India. "We were not expecting that India would lose to a team like Bangladesh but they did. It was an embarrassing defeat. Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka. They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well. Ye khala ji ka ghar nahi hai jaha pe India...

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...

US Going To Take Care Of Chinese Balloon, Says Joe Biden

President Joe Biden said on Saturday that the United States is "going to take care of" a suspected Chinese spy balloon that has been tracked flying across the United States. Biden made his remark in response to a question about whether the United States would shoot down the high-altitude surveillance balloon, which has been flying across the country in what Washington calls a "clear violation" of US sovereignty. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a visit to China that had been expected to start on Friday because of the balloon. The president did not elaborate on what was planned. Military leaders considered shooting down the high-altitude surveillance balloon this week but eventually recommended against this because of the risk of falling debris, officials said. China expressed regret that an "airship" used for civilian meteorological and other scientific purposes had strayed into U.S. airspace. The Pentagon said on Friday that another Chi...
