[22:25:02] <exec> 08└─Just make sure Chinese are not interested in what you do, so they avoid using the backdoor. Or it could be like USGov & Huawei. Maybe find a way to manufacture it, all over the world instead of single supplier, and then verify what you get back.

Data analysis, though? Strongly disagree. Python is equivalent or superior to R from the standpoint of data structures (Pandas DataFram...

There are some ways to get Linux binaries to run on FreeBSD but if FAH were open source, then someone would have probably updated the ports tree so it worked out of the box.
