Name one freedom you no longer have in the US. And be specific. Show some intelligence in your answer.
A specious way to pose the question. But since you asked, it's not so much a matter of what freedoms you no longer have, but rather what freedoms are under attack.
If the hand that feeds you is also the hand that abuses you, I wouldn't be surprised if you did some biting.
Look, I'm not taking a side here. The moral dilemmas in this case are pretty confusing. I'm just saying that someone who receives a benefit is not necessarily out of bounds when they complain about receiving mistreatment.
We want Facebook to evaluate mental health, this seems like a perfectly sane thing to do
(...Poe's law adjustment...)
I don't think anyone (certainly not me) wants Facebook to be an evaluator of mental health. But when someone leaves clues that point to self-destruction, whether it's at home, at school, at work, at your place of worship, at social groups, at an online forum... it's worth it to follow up in a compassionate way. If you're wrong, then oh well. But if you're right, you just might save someone's life.
This just might be a chance for social media to do something good. And it also might be a teaching moment for those who don't understand mental illness, to realize it is common, frequently treatable, and it need not have the stigma it has had in the past.
Social media is already part of our public life. It's the embodiment of Marshall McLuhan's "global village" -- a place where we expose ourselves to observation, for better or for worse. We (meaning governments, citizens, etc.) need to be vigilant to protect ourselves from the "for worse" part. But we need not shun the "for better" part.
In his book Black Holes and Time Warps -- Einstein's Outrageous Legacy, Kip Thorne described a plausible time machine. It relied on exotic stuff (wormholes whose entry/exit points could be moved around) but the description holds up. Briefly, it works like this:
- take a wormhole whose ends can be moved around; - move one end around with respect to the other, so that the local time of the moved end ages more slowly that the other end (per The Twin Paradox); - and voilà, you have a time machine: go forward or backward in time depending on which direction you choose to pass through.
Guess what printer I will not be buying in the future...
You would do well to avoid an Epson ink printer anyway. While they may make some high-quality professional printers with 8, 10, or 12 colors, their consumer models have permanent print-heads that are supplied with ink from replaceable cartridges. That means you print-head can clog and need cleaning if you use it infrequently.
Contrast this with other manufacturers who, while they may play some of the same tricks as Epson, at least sell you a new print-head with each cartridge. And remanufacturers can (and hopefully do) clean the print-head before they resell the cartridge.
I'll grant that my experience with Epson is a little dated. They may have switched to replaceable print-heads.
Did he ever have a chance to collect his Social Security?
Good question. If he thought he was going to live into his 70s and beyond, he would have delayed his benefits to increase his monthly payments. On the other hand, if he didn't think he was going to live long, he may have started his benefits at the minimum age of 62, or earlier if he qualified for them on a disability basis.
He never married, so there is no survivor who can receive benefits. He also has no children. According to his wikipedia page, his only family is his sister Jody.
The major players at the time (Cantel and Bell Mobility) built out in the major metropolitan areas and then built on the highways in between the cities (401, 400, hw7, etc.) Belleville was between Toronto and Montreal (and Kingston in between) so it (rightly) got some attention.
As other posters have pointed out, Norway and Japan were notable omissions who had systems that pre-dated those in the USA.
You don't need to mention the entire history of cellular deployment in an article like TFS. But surely, omitting other contemporary or antecedent countries (like Canada, Norway, and Japan) and then following on to others (Israel and Australia) seems like sloppy research.
It's quite clear that your AC parent has The Patience of Job compared to Gerald Butler (the OP) who called for mass genocide of people who major in "Sociology, Psychology, Management, HR, Political Science, Law, Philosophy, [and] History."
Of the two of them, you tell me who deserves to be voted off the island.

Doing another maintenance run on the Hubble is probably beyond the spec/capabilities of the first manned SpaceX launch, currently planned for mid 2019.
According to this article from January 2018, the earliest SpaceX is expected to fly humans is December 2019. Boeing expects to fly February 2020.
It's still early to talk of a rescue mission, but I'm surprised TFA doesn't even mention it. Of course, without the shuttle, and with SpaceX and Boeing unlikely to fly humans until sometime around 2020, It's likely to remain hobbled [wah wah] when the Webb telescope is launched in 2019. So fixing it will depend on the cost/benefit for what Hubble can do compared to Webb.

First clue that you have a mental health problem: you're on FaceBook.
But all of us on slashdot are just fine?
What do you mean, my premise? It was Kip Thorne's idea. If you think it's wrong, take it up with him.
In his book Black Holes and Time Warps -- Einstein's Outrageous Legacy, Kip Thorne described a plausible time machine. It relied on exotic stuff (wormholes whose entry/exit points could be moved around) but the description holds up. Briefly, it works like this:

Yes, that's the thing I was worried about with climate change.
Watch what happens when climate change reduces the availability of porn.

TFA mentions 1G cellular service beginning in the USA (1983), UK (1984), Israel (1986) and Australia (1987.)
No mention of Canada, where cellular service went live on Canada Day (July 1) 1985.
I suspect there are other omissions.
And yet Humanities majors can excel at technical roles.
What was your point?
It's not the tech people that are the problem. It's the fuckwit sociopaths in management that have forced thing to be the way they are.
Hate to break this to you, but some of those "fuckwit sociopaths" have STEM degrees.
You need technical skills to develop technology. And you need human skills to convey what you have developed to other humans. Including management.
Don't know where you work, but my company has people with humanities degrees who picked up technical skills after they graduated.
Humanities majors can learn to perform well at technical skills. I see no reason why STEM majors can't do the reverse.
To get a degree of any kind, you must learn how to think and how to self-educate. That sets you up for success across many fields.

Whoops, make that 2021, not 2019 for the Webb launch. Still, I'll bet Webb is in orbit before Hubble is fixed, if it ever is.
It's still early to talk of a rescue mission, but I'm surprised TFA doesn't even mention it.
