The CEO of a London-based banking giant triggered a backlash among shareholders, customers and social media users after describing the staff he plans to replace with AI as “lower-value human capital”. Standard Chartered plans to axe nearly 8,000 jobs as it ramps up its use of artificial intelligence and automation. The bank’s CEO, Bill Winters, announced the plans as part of a drive to improve profitability across its global operations. “It’s not cost-cutting. It’s replacing in some cases lower-value human capital ​with the financial capital and the investment capital we’re putting in,” Winters told reporters. The remarks attracted widespread condemnation, with Singapore’s president Halimah Yacob describing them as “disturbing”. “‘Workers are human beings with families, not just a form of capital. They too have contributed to the bank and now because of AI have become redundant,” Yacob wrote on Facebook. “It’s demeaning to describe them as ‘lower-value human capital’.” The comments sparked fury on social media, with one user describing it as a modern-day version of Marie Antoinette’s famous phrase “let them eat cake”. Another compared it to the Nazis’ use of the term “ballast existence” to describe groups they considered socially undesirable. Standard Chartered is headquartered in London and has corporate hubs across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. The bank employs nearly 82,000 people globally, but plans to slash 15% of back-office positions by 2030. Winters – who reportedly took home £12.7m in pay last year – later sent a memo to staff claiming that his comments were taken “out of context”. “I know this may be unsettling when reduced to simple headlines or a quote out of context,” he wrote. “Where roles do fall away, it reflects changes in the work, not the value of our people.”

There's no indication the bond market is better now in figuring future inflation; its expectation of 2.4% annual CPI over 10 years seems woefully low.

Progress photos (in order): 1) Before: the cramped corner of my basement utility room, just a blank wall and a pile of hand tools on a shelf. 2) Studs marked and a level line snapped, with a scrap spacer jig taped to the wall. 3) First cleat strip going up, showing the 45 degree rip and the screw pattern into studs. 4) Closeup of a simple box module on the bench (just a shallow tray) with its matching cleat screwed on. 5) Finished wall loaded with modules: drill shelf, small parts tray, tape measure hooks, and a narrow "dump" bin for bits and pencils. My take: in tight spaces pegboard looks flexible until you actually use it. Hooks pop out, heavier tools make things sag, and the depth of hanging tools eats the little walkway you have. I wanted something that feels like an organized game inventory: every tool has a slot and I can rearrange pieces quickly. What I built: a shallow French cleat wall. The cleats only stick out about 3/4 in, and the modules are slim so everything sits close to the wall. Materials: 3/4 in plywood for cleats and modules, 2 1/2 in construction screws into studs, wood glue, 1 1/4 in screws for assembling modules, plus some leftover 1/4 in plywood for bottoms and dividers. Steps: 1) Rip 3/4 in plywood into 3 in strips and cut a 45 degree bevel along the length. 2) Find studs and mount the cleats level, bevel up and away from the wall, spacing them about 6 to 8 in apart. 3) Make modules as simple open boxes (I did 3 to 4 in deep) and screw a matching cleat to the back, bevel down toward the box. 4) Hang the modules, tweak locations, then add specific holders like a dowel for tape, a little lip for drivers, etc. Time and cost: one Saturday afternoon plus a bit of time the next day. Mostly scrap plywood so it was cheap. Big lesson: the shallow part is the trick. Keeping modules thin made the corner feel bigger, not smaller. I will be around to answer questions. submitted by /u/DistributionAlive338 [link] [comments]

Hundreds of Gaza aid flotilla activists who were illegally detained by Israel have been released from prison ahead of their deportation. Approximately 430 campaigners from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) and Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) were arrested in international waters while trying to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza. The activists were subjected to extreme violence, sexual harassment and routinely forced into stress positions while in detention, the Adalah legal centre reported. The majority of those detained were released from the Ktziot detention facility and transferred to Ramon Airport in southern Israel to be deported, the Israeli Prison Service and state officials confirmed to Adalah. The centre’s legal team reported “systemic violations of due process” as well as widespread physical and psychological abuse by Israeli authorities, with at least three individuals requiring hospital treatment and dozens of activists left with suspected broken ribs. Adalah’s team reported the frequent use of Tasers on activists, and injuries sustained from the use of rubber bullets. While being moved around the port, activists were forced to walk bent completely forward while guards violently held their backs down. Flotilla participants were also subjected to degradation and sexual harassment and humiliation, while several women had their hijabs ripped off by Israeli authorities. “The entire operation, from the unlawful interception in international waters to the systemic torture, humiliation and arbitrary detention of peaceful activists, constitutes a flagrant violation of international law,” Adalah said. Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir caused a diplomatic incident this week after posting footage of himself taunting detained flotilla activists as they kneel in rows in a stress position with their hands tied. “Welcome to Israel. We are the landlords,” Ben-Gvir says in the ​video as he walks among the activists while waving a large Israeli flag. The footage drew global condemnation, with US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee describing Ben-Gvir’s behaviour as “despicable”.

Love Philly? So do we. Let’s be friends. Sign up for the Billy Penn newsletter today. — Fairmount Park hosts many important landmarks, events and people in 2026. But, 150 years ago, it hosted one of the world’s biggest events – America’s first World’s Fair. Nearly 10 million visitors attended the fair to experience lots of world-changing inventions – including the typewriter and the sewing machine. Memorial Hall, which is now home to the Please Touch Museum, was one of the centerpieces of the celebrations. “It was a place of celebrating innovation as the first World’s Fair on US soil, where people came to see new inventions and discover new things from all across the country and all across the world,” said Melissa Weiler Gerber, the president and CEO of the Please Touch Museum. “Now, it’s a place that inspires curiosity and creativity and all the little kids who visit us every day.” The Please Touch Museum (Kimberly Paynter/WHYY) She says this was a pivotal moment for America – as it gave the country center stage to showcase innovations and serve as a contender in the industrial world. As part of the city’s “firstival” celebrations of historic firsts in Philadelphia history, artists have created unique designs for statues shaped in the form of a number one. The firstival statue for this week embodies the innovative spirit of the 1876 fair, said Janice Kim, who designed it. “I did the Lady Liberty torch because it was a big part of [the fair] and on the other side, I illustrated the first telephone by Alexander Graham Bell and also the first typewriter,” she said.“I was inspired by the color of the sky, because at the museum, there’s a big view of the sky and also because the Please Touch Museum is for children and it’s very playful, I wanted to use the colors kind of to depict that.” Melissa Weiler Gerber (left), the president and CEO of the Please Touch Museum and Janice Kim (right), the ‘Firstival’ statue artist, stand next to the rendering of these week’s Firstival art. (Violet Comber-Wilen/Billy Penn) The U.S. went on to host more than two dozen World Fairs – showcasing everything from Disneyland and the Ford Mustang to touchscreens and the Statue of Liberty. Celebrating history This weekend’s firstival event will celebrate the 1876 World Fair’s contribution to industry and innovation that continued to shape the U.S. Please Touch Museum president and CEO Weiler Gerber said the museum has big plans for Saturday. “We’ve got a storyteller from Once Upon a Nation, we’ve got some activations for kids and for families, and we’re going to be doing tours of the historic model of the 1876 World’s Fair that is in our lower level, and if people come into the museum, they’re going to be able to see a model of the torch of the Statue of Liberty, which was first displayed at the 1876 World’s Fair,” she said. This week’s firstival will take place on Saturday, May 23 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Please Touch Museum.
