The situation is much more complicated. Some sources mention 5 m reports written to authorities during Stalin epoch. Russian good-worse scale is not the same as for Western Europe or US for example. I'd say that there is no such scale

We don't need to get rid of setuptools/distutils/etc. We need something like debhelper but for python, set of tools that generates and maintains proper setup.py and relatives.

Unfortunately, /usr/local is a total mess now. There is no internal package management in os x so applications could (and do) overwrite files in /usr/local. These conflicts are very annoying sometimes.

Then don't call these “unlimited”, because otherwise it's a pure lie. Unlimited is unlimited.

Yes, and also REST does not eliminate real business concepts so you need constantly “convert” business/domain operations to REST CRUD, and this process takes too much resources. You can change business/domain of course, but I'

REST is working with documents only, there is just no way to DO something (more than C/R/U/D), you need to map actions to some C/R/U/D and so on. That's a serious practical limitation.

Not all business/domain logic is document-oriented. You can map any api to “documents” but result will be horrible usually. There is an excellent book — “RESTful Web Services Cookbook” by Subbu Allamaraju, it covers all aspects of prac

GPG/PGP is a VERY hard tool, conceptually hard. Yes, you can run through these “quick-starts” but they give you zero understanding what exactly you are doing. GPG requires a deep understanding of things it's based on: web of trust

I think the problem not in tech giants, it's much deeper: schools, colleges etc. If large groups of people don't have (or don't want) access to education that's the problem that must be solved.
