Andriy Burkov : If you plan to do your Master's or Ph.D., choose your research advisor carefully. Ask about them his* current and past students, whether he was easily available for them, whether he responded to the requests for reference sent by their employers.
My research advisor, when was asked by one of my first employers whether they should hire me, responded: "You will call me back to thank me if you hire him." This is what a great research advisor would do for his students.
Unfortunately, not all research advisors are like this. For one of my hires, their research advisor didn't respond to two of my emails with requests for reference. I still hired the candidate, and I'm very happy with my choice. But the research advisor should be ashamed to ignore such requests about their recent alumni. To be available for their present and past students is advisors' direct duty.

Secret Chats are one of the service’s additional security features; it allows messages to be sent with client-to-client encryption. This setup means that, unlike regular messages, these secret messages can only be accessed from the device’s that initiated and accepted the chat. Additionally, Telegram notes that secret chats leave no trace on the company’s services and offer a self-destruct timer.
Telegram Gives Up On Crypto Blockchain Project
Durov said on his Telegram channel today that the two and a half year blockchain and crypto project has been put to sleep. Ironically, after leaving Russia because the government wanted his encryption keys to his social media firm, Durov’s cryptocurrency idea lost steam because of a U.S. court. “The technology we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. TON had the potential to revolutionize how people store and transfer funds and information,” he wrote on his channel. “Unfortunately, a U.S. court stopped TON from happening.”
