It strikes me that Weiss is deeply dishonest and hypocritical about all this.

She started her career trying to get cancel professors whose speech she didn't like.

She has tried to get people fired because they decline to take time out of their day to help her.

She tried to destroy a freelance writer's career because she said the word "fuck" on Twitter. And then she lied to the Washington Post about apologizing to the writer.

When a pro-Palestinian Jewish cartoonist criticized her, she attempted to deplatform the cartoonist with a baseless smear that the Jewish cartoonist is anti-Semitic.

I'd be much more open to the ideas she is promoting in her long essay here if she actually stood by the principles of open debate in her own life.

Modern journalism is disgusting. If they aren't actively pushing far left ideas and working actively to destroy the lives and reputations of people that simply disagree with that narrative then they are pushing equally dangerous far right ideas. There is no nuance anymore. It's either agree with the new orthodoxy or die.

This is hardly surprising. If you prefer Western civilization and seek to preserve it, you're labelled as a Nazi.

After they've repeatedly shown how untrustworthy they are, highlighted by the whole Slate Star Codex incident, I could truly not care less what they do or don't do.

They're a joke in my eyes.

Her appearance on Joe Rogaine was his most second unpopular video ever on YouTube.

She’s an awful woman. This is a win-win for everyone involved.

the insight to the NYT and it current state makes this pretty valuable to a subscriber. I don't want to pay for propaganda. it should be free.

I have never liked or respected Bari Weiss, but I sympathize with her frustration.

The New York Times hired because she is a conservative. They wanted her voice. She did exactly what they brought her on to do, and she was punished for it.

If you don't want conservative writers at your paper, don't hire conservative writers.

Man that’s a scathing letter. And an awesome one

Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor.

Twitter and its consequences have been a disaster for the American race.

Bari is a poor writer, has detestable positions on many topics, and is generally a bad faith, hypocritical actor.

The New York Times has been trash for years.

Both things can be true. Nothing of value has been lost on either side.

I'm sympathetic to what she writes in her letter, and I don't particularly doubt any of it, but according to Glenn Greenwald, Bari Weiss has her own history of cancelling.

Wow this is huge

Just read it. Powerful!

This needs to be the top story. These are STEEP ACCUSATIONS that people don't understand the gravity of. Twitter is making giant political pushes right in all of our faces and social media is supposed to be a medium not a content provider...

Imagine thinking the problem with The New York Times is that it wasn't centrist enough. Doesn't anyone ever ask if being mediocre for its own sake has any use at all in leadership?

I'm someone who has always been on the left. I grew up in a world where liberals would say, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend with my life your right to say it." Anyone who has ever spoken those words or agreed with those words should be concerned now. For Democrats this is the time we need to realize that our side is the side of the witch trials now, the side of Victorian attempts to legislate morality, we're the side of Mccarthyism. If you've ever been educated in the importance of free speech to a free society, the importance of trusting the marketplace of ideas over the brute force of the mob, now is the time to realize the danger. I can't believe so many people that are supposedly educated can abide by the ridiculous mob tactics of the far left. Look at the op ed in the Washington Post yesterday wanting to rename the Texas Rangers because it's a white supremacist name. We're progressing down a bad road in the name of justice. The saying, "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions," is a saying for a reason.

I maintain a NY Times subscription because I think their reporting of actual news is high quality. Unfortunately, their Op-Ed section has gone a little nuts. I get it, I'm no fan of Trump either, but some of the opinion pieces that make the cut are not much more than name-calling. Read any of Maureen Dowd's pieces and you'll see what I mean.

An opinion piece is ideally an honest intellectual argument supporting a specific viewpoint. An opinion section should contrast ideologically opposing pieces to give a full view of the big debates going on in society. Last week's opinion section read like a very long Green Party pamphlet. Each individual piece wasn't a problem, but the editors should really balance them out with some critical viewpoints.

Who cares?

The projection is almost physically painful to watch.

She's against pro Palestinian independence causes and has endlessly complained about the BDS movement. She complained that the only Jewish candidate for president wasn't sufficiently pro-Israel. I'm not sure what it takes to qualify as a proper "Zionist" these days, but she is certainly on the more conservative side of the Israel coin if not as far right as Netanyahu types.

In younger, more cosmopolitan circles, that's seemingly the less popular stance. Those voices were pushed to the margins when her type of politics were unquestioned, and now things are changing. If she hadn't hung her hat on this maybe she could have focused on other things can continue where she was, but I guess this is the hill she wanted to die on.

Bari Weiss just recently signed a letter condemning people getting fired from their jobs for expressing their views and then in her resignation letter complains that people who smearing her weren't sanctioned or fired? This won't help her cancel culture cause...it's actually food for critics

So she isn’t down for those hard critiques that she expect everyone else to bear the weight of? She has said things just as slanderous just look at her description of Tulsi Gabbard. Also I take anything Weiss says with a grain of salt. I want some proof that her coworkers said this and not some random Twitter dude.

The criticism at-large of Bari Weiss was one, of my many, but perhaps one of the first moments I had of WTF is happening to ‘progressives’

If my memory serves me correctly it was on Michelle Wolf, bad, Netflix show, where there was a skit about Bari Weiss and it didn’t make any sense nor was it funny.

She’s clearly a courageous and principled writer, which seems to be lacking these days

Only about a week or two ago, somebody on this reddit was arguing in a thread I made about how the NY Times is getting increasingly far left and ridiculous, that it isn't a big deal because for example, they employ writers like Bari Weiss.

One by one they are all going to find themselves ousted from institutions, whether by force or by painful and reluctant resignation in this case.

For those willing to delve into this whole 'cancel culture' concept, especially as it is defined by those on the right, Cody's video is worthwhile:

And yet state and local jurisdictions are clamoring for federal funds to shore up their own deficits

It’s almost like shutting down the economy is bad for debt.

Who knew?

What can't go on forever, won't.

I don’t know much about economics, but Wikipedia tells me that the GDP for the entire country is $21.4 trillion. This deficit, if continued at this rate over a year, would be $10.4 trillion. If almost half of our GDP is based on deficit spending, shouldn’t that lead to monetary collapse or hyperinflation or something bad like that?

The "libertarian" president they called him. The party of "fiscal responsibility". Everytime they take office the deficit EXPLODES. I have no idea how people keep believing this shit.

Don’t worry if Biden wins, the GOP will care about the deficit in November.

GOP: time to cut taxes again!

I would be fine with this if during better times (last three years) we underspent the budget and created a warchest for spending during things like pandemics or mass unrest. But that never happens. They go from spending more during times of trouble to spending even more when the trouble is over.

On January 21, 2021, if, god willing, Biden wins, Fox, OAN, Newsmax, etc. will all being doing wall to wall coverage of how awful our national debt is, and blame "the left" for the problem.

And angry GOPers are going to eat that shit up, and take to the streets. Again.

I'm tired of the fiscally irresponsible GOP. The Republicans are fat cats lighting their cigars with our hard earned tax dollars.

Then they send piles of our money to religious schools while our public schools languish.

Republicans start expensive overseas wars in countries that never attacked us. Why? So they can line the pockets of their defense contractor buddies. Meanwhile, our soldiers put in harms way barely scrape by, and our veterans care is underfunded.

Vote out all the fat cats.

Republicans in 6 months: We've got to get spending back under control.

Have to open he economy up and stop giving welfare to individuals and businesses.

Clearly, this is a non-issue... until a democrat is in charge. Then we have to get this wreckless tax and spend problem under control immediately. Someone has to be the adult in the room and tell the democrats they cant spend money they don't have.

Tea Party: New phone, who dis?

That is insanity. Debt is future spending brought forward. We are talking so much wealth from the future it’s criminal.

So how long until a gallon of milk will cost $35,000.00 USD?

Big government Republicans racking up debt on the credit cards again.

Meanwhile, the Dow Jones is up 500 points today because pharmaceutical corporations are gouging people and making a killing.

Disgusting.

Where my Tea Party fiscal patreets at?

trump has added $6,500,000,000,000 to the national debt since 1/20/17 and not a fucking peep about it from Fox News.

Blockchain.com Web wallet underpays the recommended feerate for transactions with two outputs.

The Blockchain.com iOS wallet overpays on transactions with one output.

Why does anyone still use that piece-of-dogshit wallet anymore?

"Transactions sent with Blockchain.com wallets make up for about a third of all Bitcoin transactions."

And about two thirds of the complaints about wallets here on r/Bitcoin.

If you are using a wallet that supports replace-by-fee (RBF), and have it enabled before creating your send transaction, you can feel comfortable going on the lower-end of the transaction fee range. If the transaction doesn't confirm soon enough for you, you simply bump the fee using RBF.

Wallets supporting RBF

• https://bitcoinops.org/en/compatibility/#replace-by-fee-rbf

There's also the fee bumping method known as child-pays-for-parent (CPFP). If you send a transaction and the fee was too low, you can spend the "change" transaction but double up the fee required. This will cause the miners to look at both transactions as a set, and the combined fees should then be high enough to get both confirmed. CPFP also can be done if you are the recipient of the funds.

How Blockchain.com harms the cryptocurrency community

• https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/gct9qi

Interesting research , however I don't know why anyone would be using that wallet due to

1. Lacks segwit so much higher tx fees

2. History of bugs and incompetence

3. missing advanced features like RBF, lightning , or privacy features

4. Is often used in insecure (osx/windows) desktop environments. IMHO you should only be using a wallet combined with a HW wallet in these environments. If you cant afford a 50 dollar HW wallet than just use a mobile wallet

5. Is a popular wallet among scammers because of backdoor features and because it is easy to remotely setup

6. Horrible bad security decisions like allowing users to setup wallets without forcing them first to copy and verify backup words

7. History of privacy breaches from investors

8. Attacked Bitcoins consensus with segwit2x fiasco and never apologized

I am sorry guys, but money is still 100 times safer in bank than cryptos are on some exchange

More selfish anarchist nonsense. Get over yourself.

BTW bitcoin doesn't protect shit any more than gold does.

Please keep in mind, we don't get our rights from the government. Rather, the government's only legitimate powers are given to it, by the people, that is, the consent of the governed.

The Constitution does not give rights to the people -- read it, you'll see. The Constitution enumerates the few legitimate powers the government has (along with describing the executive, legislative, and judicial branches).

The Bill of Rights does not give us our rights. Rather, it expressly prohibits the government from violating our rights and from seizing powers not specifically granted to it.

So, where do our rights come from? We are born with them. If/when the government becomes abusive enough, we have the right, the duty to replace it.

&#x200B;

Keep that in mind.

What's bottle pay about

TLDR; BottlePay is back as a mobile app to compete with CashApp as simple FIAT on-ramp for BTC and BTC-LN. They are also looking to hire two dozen people.
