Where is there no effort into forcing banks to offer access to online banking APIs via OAuth2, and have them rely on services like Plaid or Yodellee, where you often have to use your banking creds ...

Are ethics and morality human values? Or were they just part of some social pact that we are collectively not enforcing anymore, as it is not as profitable?
"The protocol taught us that technology can be based on human values like ethics and morality. It showed that voluntary compliance works when all parties benefit."

This is depressing and hilarious. I call it deprarious ...
Somehow this came across my feed on X and this is genuinely hilarious. Tablet Mag is arguing that a performing arts center in New York is actually a secret Kaaba, because... uh... it's a cube? And the Kaaba is a cube? And they both have some marble on the outside, so check-mate libs.
![Tablet Magazine
@tabletmag
The Perelman Performing Arts Center was unveiled in September 2023, steps from the footprint of the Twin Towers. Critics called it “glamorous” and “a retort to terrorism.”
But no one mentioned something almost too strange to believe: It’s a ringer for the Kaaba, Islam’s holiest shrine. The cube-shaped building is even veiled in marble that recalls the Kaaba’s black kiswa, and one corner points directly toward Mecca.
This is not an internet conspiracy theory. It’s a thing anyone could see. But not a single one of the dozens of distinguished art and architecture critics and urban planners who commented on the site for dozens of high-level newspapers and magazines ever so much as noted the similarity to the Kaaba, even in passing. Standing on a site visible to hundreds of thousands of people, the building has somehow rendered itself invisible.
[Underneath is a still shot from a video, showing the white cube of the Perelman Art Center, with "American Kaaba" written above it by the edits. The only comparison to the actual Kaaba is that they are both cubes.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreighg42gvs54nbngdftc2v7xyr75d3q6372wtq7hrdwq2hfkf5pnya@jpeg)

I am trying to update my citizenship info with the DMV and I cannot do so because there are no appointment slots in the visible future !
Clear moment of panic from DHS as they realized that they were about to have TSA turn away over half a million people a day at airports.
Regardless, if that many people are getting extra screenings, get to the airport EARLY.
