The apes predicted the outcome, expecting the human's true behavior to be different from the reality they were aware of.
I disagree. The reality they were aware of is that the human would hit the haystack that King Kong ran to after hitting the person.
There's no reason to assume they're guessing the thought process of the human. For all we know the apes might be thinking that King Kong was pointing out a food source.
There's no reason to assume the apes are guessing "what others are thinking".
They were shown a sequence of events, including the person hitting a haystack where King Kong first hid. That is all. Of course they expect the person to hit that haystack, that was what they were conditioned to expect. No different than Pavolv's dogs salivating when he walked into the lab wearing a white coat. The experiment was rigged to prove the hypothesis.
It's very, very difficult to get rid of non-performers who are protected by both civil service laws and their union. Using contractors gives the government more control, not less.
48 W panel would generate on average approx 32 Wh of energy daily during the Winter season
Care to explain how you got that number? Idaho gets less than 12 hours of daylight during the winter. And the panels are flat on the ground, not pointed at the sun during any time of the day. I don't see how they could generate much over 10 to 15 Wh
On the other hand, pretty much every language that uses static typing gives you a way to get around it with overloading, annotations, injections, factories, etc. All of which makes it even more buggy and difficult to read, verify, and maintain.
The problem with space junk is less about getting to it
Actually, that is the problem. Maneuvering to intercept a piece of space junk requires a huge amount of energy when you're already traveling 17,000 mph, that's a lot of momentum to change.
You need to look at the media coverage of all Republican candidates together to understand what happened. The candidates thought to be the strongest opponents against Hillary received the harshest treatment (Christy, Romney, Rubio, and Cruz).
Trump was considered a non-threat, him getting the nomination was supposed to ensure an easy victory for Clinton. The long knives didn't really come out until poll numbers showed Trump actually having a chance to win. Now that he's ahead you see the hysteria.
The suggestion to use formal verification has been around for decades. It isn't used outside of the ivory towers because writing a correct specification and proving it's correct is harder than writing correct software. It becomes increasingly difficult as the code base gets bigger and more interfaces are added.
A company I worked for a few years ago set up Yammer. There were some posts the first few days as people tried it out, then it faded away. As already noted, this is a solution in search of a problem.
The Galileo mission in the early 90's established that Europa has water, and water vapor plumes were first observed on it a few years ago. In other words, the recent measurement of the plumes by Hubble is interesting but not a huge discovery.
But if researchers determine that its observations could help pinpoint more details of the plumes, then yes, they damn well should
There's no reason to assume the data they're collecting about Jupiter and it's atmosphere are so much less less important that it's worth the time, cost, and risk to make observations of Europa.
If there are plumes of water vapor coming from the surface of Europa they'll still be there ten years from now, a hundred years from now, and a thousand years from now.
Maybe they can retarget it to make some closer observations of Europa now that there might be something interesting to look for.
Or maybe after spending 5 years traveling to Jupiter the spacecraft will be used for the scientific mission it was designed to do. Only science fiction fans would think looking for water on Europa is more important than the real science Juno is doing.
My best advice to all of you engineers in the Class of 1890 is to bet your careers on coal-powered steam
That would have been very good advice. Coal powered steam was the main source of power for the entire working life of those engineers - electricity generation, trains, ships, heat, it was everywhere for a long time after 1890.
Texas is a good place for wind generated power. Trade winds that blow across the Atlantic and Caribbean hit the east coast of Texas all day every day. It is far more reliable that solar or even wind on other places.

Lowering the 100,000+ deaths per year in the world due to humans driving is the actual goal.
Making a profit on self-driving car technology is the goal. Anything else is a byproduct.
Nevermind, I misread your post. 32 Wh sounds about right.

Consider the lack of data type declarations

Who's brain works like this?
Clinton's big problem is voter indifference. People don't like Trump, but they don't like Clinton enough to vote for her.
Articles like this are intended to nudge tepid Clinton supporters to get out and vote.

does that make it a JIT compiler?
Java already has a JIT compiler, which is why startup times are slow. This proposal if for an AOT - Ahead Of Time - compiler.
A large data set yes, but it's mostly crap - out of date or total BS from the beginning.
A rendezvous with a comet is very difficult and expensive. Not much chance of anyone bothering for a few centuries.
They won't lose any money, they just might not make as much.
TFA doesn't say anything about losing money. It says they will lose revenue, i.e. they won't make as much.
