Great article! In Mexico the number one by far, is Whatsapp then Telegram. But Whatsapp is the best and the most popular, the telephone cariers give it for free.
I am 100% in favor of Sam Altman's decision for the following reasons: 1. Trump is offensive, racist, sexist and a terrible human being all around. I am Mexican, and I hate his guts and everything about him. However, I believe in what Voltaire once smartly said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". I do not agree at all with Peter Thiel's decision to support Trump in the RNC or with money, but I defend his right to express himself. 2. Sam Altman and Paul Graham have done a lot to defeat Trump and elect Hillary as president. One of their part time partners supports Trump, that is not indicative of YC's political view. 3. Peter Thiel is a business man, and investor therefore that is what I focus on, his book which is fantastic and his work on facebook, can't judge him unfairly on everything, just because he supports Trump. He has a brilliant business mind and that is why he is a part time partner at YC and that is in the arena he should be judged.
I am strongly in favor of free speech. Peter should be scrutinized and debated, not fired. Sam Altman does not deserve any nonsense because of this.
What is the difference? Shouldn't we strive for the most free speech possible. The first amendment of the constitution of the United States of America states as follows: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The government protects free speech in all its forms, including the horrible vile that comes out of Trump. Why can't us informed citizens respect other people's point of view and defeat it with facts, reasoning and logic. When we shut off members of a society because we disagree with them, we are pushing them to the extreme, leaving them isolated and creating more horrible monsters. A democratic and free society must tolerate all opinions to actually be free and not be run by a certain group that prohibits certain types of speech.

Hey, I hope you get your spirits up and you get a job you want more in the future.
For the "not feeling intelligent", I've had that happen to me, but this book called, Mindset the New Psychology of Success, really helped me because it teaches you that hard work, dedication and willingness to learn are what made you smart, not that you were born naturally smart.
