Predictions:

- @POTUS twitter account is going to start tweeting at 3AM

- I think illegal immigration enforcement could see the most drastic and immediate change. To my knowledge the status quo is not legislated in any way, and was created by preventing enforcement rather than any legal means. When low-skill unemployment bottoms out the motivation will start to weaken.

- whatever was done by Obama by executive order, I presume will be quickly undone, they will probably have reams of documents ready to be signed on day 1.

- Hillary Clinton: in order to prosecute Trump will need to nominate a new Attorney General to the DOJ, and then ask the FBI to re-assess I guess? I don't think she will go to jail, in some countries when power changes the losers get jailed but it hasn't been the case in America, and I don't think high level politicians want it to become the case. For all practical purposes I think Clinton will continue to be above the law.

- The WALL ... boy I don't know. I will be fascinating to watch if he tries to do this. The only utility will be economic stimulus.

- Trade war: I think the American dollar will go to a lower level which will decrease imports and increase exports.

- Muslim ban: I think he will disallow visas from active conflict areas and nearby. I don't think i.e. Malaysia will be effected, or Indian muslims for example. Maybe countries that aren't functional enough to carry out a criminal background check will be disallowed.

EDIT:

Also, I don't think Trump+GOP will enact or seek to promote any racist or sexist policies, I don't think they will mount an attack on the recent marriage equality ruling. I think the following people will suffer financially:

- undocumented immigrants

- industries that depend on a close relationship with the government: the guard is changing -- if you had relationships with the Bushes and the Clintons, you've had access to the most powerful organization to ever exist in the world for the past 27 years, that may or may not continue.

This is if Trump lives all four years. All of the above doesn't apply to Pence, I think Pence could do some real damage.
It's a feedback loop that started because of government intervention in the free market and it continues simply because of government intervention in the free market. There are many examples of this, such as your broadband and mobile phone markets, and university tuition loans.
Educated and good hearted people keep thinking truth matters, that social justice is kept in high regard by the majority, that the positive improvement of our human civilization is innevitable, that brexit and this vote reflect a short lived state of anger, a mistake. That if the truth was exposed people would have made the right choice.
But we are living an age when truth/logic has lost its friction on the collective mind. It is a very weak drive confronted to the sheer complexity of human knowledge.

This is not going away, it will get worst. Hegel describe the course of civilization as an ever returning cycle of pinacles and abyss, which in average gets better, but has to go through cyclic return to war, hatred, and socialde-evolution before being able to sublimate it and reach a higher level of civilization. Alas, Only disasters and pain will be able to tire the verbose stupidity and give perspective to the angry mobs. Maybe this disaster will help spur good and strong men and women into action to tip the equation back again, but I am afraid this time the world will need blood like it did against nazi germany.
Won't this just devolve into a vicious circle, where the politically expedient thing to do is to utterly sabotage the other side, and teach the voters a less each election cycle?
It's a two-step process. First you must make them understand that they are racist. That's requires confrontation. Once they acknowledge that truth, that reasonable people believe them racist, then you can go about convincing them that racism is a bad thing. The first statement is about people who do not believe themselves racist. The second about those who do and are proud of being so. You confront the former, negotiating only with the later.
Yes, I noticed that too. I wonder if the authors of these articles care about what they are writing.

Kaby Lake works with any OS which has drivers for them. MS didn't plan to make any for Windows < 10 and wasn't asking OEMs to develop them for those Windowses.
There's a dependency tree required to get to the point of "vote", and you have to pass thru "respect" first.

I disagree with, but respect, Sanders, Stein, Warren, Feingold (and some other lefties). Hillary equals revulsion, repulsion. I can't be talked from "respect" to "vote" with someone I can't even respect first.

The D party worked very hard on converting "respect" people to "vote" people. I think they achieved 100% success. The problem is most of the country can never respect her, and there was zero effort put into making her respectable (perhaps it was recognized as impossible?)

There's something fundamentally wrong internally with the D party when the ground seems to be crawling with respectable (possibly votable!) candidates but instead we get a movie caricature of Lex Luther combined with a slightly more chicken hawk bloodthirsty Joker from a sequel rejected in the 90s. There's something just horribly fundamentally wrong with how people gain political power inside the D party, resulting in the wrong leaders at the wrong times.

Hmm, I thought the "silly question" was the referendum, but maybe you meant that's the silly answer?

I thought you were blaming the public, but if you're primarily blaming the politicians then I agree.
Too true.

If you want to start steering political life according to your values, next election cycle, pick a candidate for city/state/federal/whatever, or cause that matters to you, and give them 10 hours a week of your time.

They might win, and you might have your issue or values better represented at your city/state/federal/whatever.

If they lose, you get up and do it again the next election cycle.
Very good. To clarify - they wanted the last 4 digits of my NI number (in one case they asked for the entire thing) as well as DOB.

In one instance the agency asked for the full NI number, probably because it's easier to ask/parse than the last 4 chars for some people, not due to Capita requirements.
> Now that the voices of the disenfranchised blue collar workers have been heard, what actually can be done to help them?

You are 100% correct. Trump wont do anything about it, but now that the message has been sent and heard I think the next election in 4 years is where we will see this being addressed an hopefully some change for these people. The people want change, now they've been heard. Both political parties were decimated in this election, I think they'll try harder next time for the people.

Hi everyone, I just set up this site. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

The site is a crowdsourcing platform for randomized control trials, where anyone can start and/or join an experiment. I do have plans to integrate health and fitness tracking APIs into the site, integrate more machine learning decision-tree models with confidence intervals, and the ability to automatically relaunch experiments for replicability. Thanks!

>>Having the same opinion for 24 years is not a virtue.

It is if they were good opinions the whole damn time. Being for marriage equality for 24 years is a virtue. Being for an improved social safety net for 24 years is a virtue. Being for universal healthcare for 24 years is a virtue.

> Facts do matter

Obviously. I think the point being made though is that they seem to matter less than many people thought. Trump ran a campaign that was light on facts, and in many cases used misinformation in lieu of facts. The fact that this is less important than what, if it's true, amounts to a very slight level of corruption in the other candidate (I'm unsure why I should have considered the idea that money given to a charity would get you semi-favorable treatment with regard to an audience as the horrible thing it was presented as) is something I find upsetting.

I understand that people are upset with their governance, but the only thing that comes to mind when I think of this situation is "to cut off your nose to spite your face."
As a Canadian, I want to say that the great country that is the United States absolutely needs democrat voters more than ever. So PLEASE stay home for the democracy in your country.
That state of affairs existed before 2015. Several states had approved gay marriage but it was still a clusterfuck of legal issues.
Hitler had a united party, a divided opposition including a party who didn't care what happened as long as the interests of a particular institution were protected, an actual Communist party to blame, and a pliant, senile boss with enormous reserve powers. Sure, the possibility of a machtergreifung are non-zero, but then again they're non-zero in any country. Even the most locked-down USA would be more open than 1970s USSR or China today, much less 1930s Germany.
Added up, I have spent almost two years in Latin America prior to moving here. Just traveling the first time and traveling plus working remotely the second time. So I already spoke the language quite well and roughly knew what to expect. I didn't expect the grass to be greener. Just greener in some parts, browner in others.

Also I like being culture shocked – it tends to widen my horizon :)

US Election 2016 – views from Oxford
That was exactly the question addressed in Gonzales v. Raich.
From Scalia's concurring opinion:

Unlike the power to regulate activities that have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, the power to enact laws enabling effective regulation of interstate commerce can only be exercised in conjunction with congressional regulation of an interstate market, and it extends only to those measures necessary to make the interstate regulation effective. As Lopez itself states, and the Court affirms today, Congress may regulate noneconomic intrastate activities only where the failure to do so "could… undercut" its regulation of interstate commerce.... This is not a power that threatens to obliterate the line between "what is truly national and what is truly local."

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich
> "Take America back"; that's not particularly subtle as to from who.

Depends on the context really. If that was Sander's slogan, you'd immediately assume whom you'd be taking it back was the bankers & corporation.

It's one of those generic slogan that reflects the views of the beholder. Some will assume it means from the immigrants, others the bureaucrats. It's definitely smarter than the damp squibs that Clinton came up with.
Is is more than painful, I wasted a whole year walking through these steps and am as a result never going to either live/pay taxes in Canada.

Not because it is impossible, but because there are other places to live which are way less painful to move to.

That's not health insurance in the US. Here it's more like a payment plan on future service. I can't wait until the car insurance industry gets on board and starts covering preventative care such as oil changes, air pressure checks, and windshield wiper blade replacements.
> C basically doesn't give you any way to address memory smaller than a char

It does, via bit-fields.
> I took it from the article, that there's no chance running Windows or dual booting after switching to it

That's literally what they said. The GP is telling you it's a lie (and is very probably right, but I don't know the details), but they said you can not dual boot.
If you think DJT will change anything you are sadly mistaken. That's not how the American government works. And American economy is deeply entrenched with the global economy, so nothing will be changed. Also, some of the things Peter Thiel mentioned are often labeled as "Big Government" spending - e.g., space, healthcare, education etc. Be sure that Trump's party is categorically against Big Govt spending. So none of that will come to fruition as well.

Yet net migration figures stayed around 350k, which showed that either the politicians were not really engaging or were ineffective.

I also don't see how you can call the idea of restricting that "mad". Genuinely I don't. I understand you can disagree, I understand you can disagree with the premises it's based on. But how is it "mad"?

Your insistence on only dealing with the conservative government is also puzzling when we're talking about something that goes far further back.
That's what I did. https://github.com/zelon88/HRCloud2
I don't think the first will happen, since there are still millions of Macs in the wild (and many models still in production) which will not have the touchbar. Thus, the easiest path will be to simply duplicate on-screen functionality (or expose functionality already hidden behind menus).
Thanks. He sounds like me. I use the term, "Caveman Majority". Will you be staying in the US now or are you fantasizing about leaving?
This is what I fear the most. The rise of alt-right rhetoric making it's way into the mainstream. I guess the pendulum had to swing away from talk of global unity and progress and towards isolationism at some point - I just hope it swings back the other way before it's too late.
How do you take into account nuances. When President Obama was riding shotgun on the ACA passage he disregarded the opinions of the opposition with phrases like "No one has shown me any other alternatives," and "I won." When the ACA was finally passed, the opposition pointed out the flaws that are now occurring. Where in this entire process, even from the start was there any engagement.

I am actively asking what engagement programs or outreaches have been attempted. The only thing I can point to is the ever changing nature of our nation's acceptance of gays and lesbian marriage. Senator's Clinton and Obama both were against it until after the populace pointed out how much they were for it.

A thought experiment: Minimum wage. It is a horrible program that directly hurts the poor and downtrodden; it was first imposed by actual racists to keep blacks out of work[1], [2]. Now, based on its origination, is it a racist program to keep poor and downtrodden out of work or is it a racist program to eliminate the minimum wage? Who is the arbiter of this decision?

> All I've heard all year was "Benghazi", "emails" and "crooked"

It's true, that's all you heard, but that's not all that he was saying and the part that you didn't hear ... that's why he won. Those who voted for him heard a different message, one specific to their economic circumstances. It's always the economy. And while the aggregate macro picture looks good, we are going through some major shifts underneath those numbers.
Simply put, rural or blue collar Americans only have one place in America where they are represented on the national level: the ballot box.

Celebrating TensorFlow’s First Year
When you wait 3 years to release an update of course there will be a sales rush. I think this is non-news.
I'm curious, what do the CPUs need drivers for? I thought x86 processors are always backwards-compatible, in theory all the way back to DOS.

Or is it the chipset driver? Here also I wonder what would have changed dramatically since the previous generation.

I've found the only thing I needed to install chipset drivers for was for mainboard-specific features, like LED and Fan control, and for (back then) bleeding edge features like USB3. Granted, this was because basic chipset support was integrated into windows. Still, I wonder what the breaking change or new feature in Kaby Lake is.
That's a gross misstatement of Citizens United. People do not give up their right to free speech by forming a voluntary organization (aka a corporation). We know this is true because we allow corporations and organizations like the New York Times, the ACLU, and the Teamsters unions to have a right to free speech.

As for money being free speech, the equivalence is that in general it costs money to publicize views. The FEC has limits on what you can do with the money (you're not supposed to buy jewelry or fancy vacations) and where it can come from.
Have to agree with you -- jeez, it used to take me 2 hours to get home and it was just from one side of Phoenix to the other using freeways. Currently, I live in Barcelona, and it takes me about 45 minutes when you add up walking to the metro, taking the metro, etc.

Yes it's almost as if McCain voters were mostly straight white people with very little to lose with an Obama presidency. Almost as if, say, major portions of the left today are marginalized groups who are now at risk of a Klan backed president....

The Mosuo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosuo) are the most well known, but many ethnic groups in the southwest operate in similar ways. I grew up in a family belonging to one of them, so it always seemed strange to me when people claim women can't do physically demanding tasks.
Even after the fix was in against Sanders, adding him as VP makes this election a slam dunk for the Democrats.
My entire family feels a terrible sadness today. We immigrated here to the United States from Russia almost 20 years ago (to the day) and after all the immigration bullshit we were finally eligible for citizenship this year. My dad took his oath and got his US passport literally weeks before the election and this is what he gets for his first vote: a divisive demagogue beat a corrupt career politician. There are no words to describe our disappointment, both at the choices and the result.

For those that are unhappy with the results of this election, there is something you can do! I implore you to write, call, and otherwise pester your state legislators and your governors to pressure them to support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact [1]. This is an interstate agreement approved by the Justice Department that activates when states with 270 or more electoral college votes sign it (by passing state legislation that implements the compact). When it activates, all of the states that signed it will, from that point on, allocate their votes for the presidential candidate that won the national popular vote, essentially destroying the electoral college. Already, the states that signed the compact have a total of 160 electoral college votes and legislation is in the works for Michigan and Pennsylvania, which would bring the total to over 180. Already a third of all electoral votes are part of this compact!

Take it from someone who has spent two decades on the sideline: you are not powerless. So few people make their voices heard that every voice counts when you're one of 50 or 100 state senators representing a state of a few million. With Trump's divisiveness front and center this is it. For the first time since the Voting Rights Act we have a chance to fundamentally change American democracy and we can do so in a way that cannot be obstructed by conservative states or dismantled by conservative Supreme Court justices.

Even if you are happy with the results of this election, I beg you to support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It's time we started to reform our electoral system and restore some of the legitimacy it has lost in the last few decades.

Most admired woman in America, winning that honor with a whopping 13% of respondents.

She got 60 million people to vote for her. It's not a surprise that some people liked her. The problem is that many people hated her. Winning that title doesn't disprove that in any way.
