Yeah, you're probably correct. I think a lot of people are very liberal about their downvoting privilege! I'm happy for someone to not agree with me but I don't like being flagged or downvoted just because someone doesn'

That's the problem. Compared to weed these are highly addictive and cause a lot of harm to the users. Oxy is easily prescribed by doctors whereas there is a taboo against cannabis. It should be the opposite.

While I agree with you partially, this is a slippery slope. Sugar and processed food are really bad for you too. Should we start banning or restricting access to those too?

This should be the way everywhere. There is no reason for weed to be illegal when tobacco is legal. I don't smoke either but I support legalisation or at the very least decriminalisation. At least that way the countries can get tax mon

I shudder at the prospect of going back to using a PC! I've been using a Mac from work. My wife and I are both pissed off at Microsoft for doing this to our home PC. I built that PC for her to do some Photoshop work. So I can't re

Wow. This is amazing! I'm not holding by breath for Mac OS support as Apple isn't very fond of Nvidia. I'm sure there will be clones in future for MacOs/IOS, Linux and Android.

If you'd asked me 10 years ago I probably would have said something disrespectful. I didn't know enough about trans-rights or lgbt rights. But over the years I've realised that they probably face a lot of injustice and indeed

This is a very controversial topic. Many have spoken about it at length. I personally believe it's not fair for women in athletics. There are several excellent suggestions/solutions discussed on this thread. I feel like there need

This looks awesome. Probably really good for a financial dashboard. I'm trying to use Plotly Dash to mimic an invoice that'll have a few line items for our products. My data is updated monthly.

Thanks mate. Will look into it. I've been following this youtube tutorial to set up a basic report frame from my data sources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mfIK8zxUds

I'm a data analyst/engineer and I'm not very good at visualisations as they haven't been that important at my jobs. I know it sounds a bit weird. Recently I've been trying to make a Plotly-Dash report/webtool t

Controversial opinion here! I don't think people who use languages like Julia/R/Python etc worry about most of the computer science side of things. Most of them are data scientists/analysts, statisticians and from pure s

No. You're right. I'm responsible for my comments and in hindsight a few of those were a bit emotionally driven rather than being objective. But I've been downvoted on my factual comments during Asian business hours and only

Try saying anything against China on this platform and you risk getting flagged and downvoted. I've experienced that already.

What a horrible life these kids have. They don't realise it. Their influencing value is inversely proportional to their rise in numbers. If everyone becomes and influencer, who'll they influence. And why does anyone need influenci

This is fascinating work, mate. I wouldn't even know where to begin! Any plans to implement something like a RISC-V instruction set in the future? :)

It's closing in on that very quickly. :)

Just an FYI to people who don't agree with me and downvoting me or thinking about flagging this, it doesn't affect me in anyway. The Hackernews karma doesn't feed me or my family. I'm just sharing what I think, without a

It's important to point out that Taiwan is not part of China, unlike John Cena, who stuttered.

Nice one mate.. It's true. Some of the products are unavoidable. They're being made in China because of corporate greed and demand for cheaper products as a result of consumerism. We don't need to replace a phone or a laptop

I expected comments like these. You can't avoid everything, as nearly everything has been outsourced to be manufactured there. But sure we can stop buying useless crap sold at Kmart/Target etc. May be buy clothes made in our own c

Yeah, they're worse than countries that fund terrorism. And the worst thing is their own population is oblivious to all that. It's consumerism in us that led them to power. If we all need/want a little bit less or make a cons
