Switchback posted:I suspect that attitude has made a whoooooole lot more people broke than it has made rich. Yeah. Speaking from experience as a worker for a startup that had a cool product, you either put in so much money in while your company is starting up in marketing and sales or you might as well not even try. The owner of that startup was smart enough to bail while not spending too much, though, but yeah. Space Kablooey fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Aug 17, 2020 |

It still blows my mind that adultery while serving in the military can land you a court martial.

I believe it's because.. you gently caress someone else, they threaten to tell your wife or you tell them state secrets. Cheating / adultery comes up with security clearance etc as well I believe.

Also for chain of command purposes, usually you are either sleeping with someone who is a superior/subordinate or the spouse of such. You don't want someone reenacting the Charge of the Light Brigade with a company just cause a captain's pissed off that Private Dumbdick has been loving his wife. Even if it's a good tactical call it muddies the waters of are your orders good or are they due to personal influence, either putting someone in danger or unduly keeping them out of it. That may sound a bit dumb but some of these standards were made to prevent stuff like Count Bertolemew from protecting nephew Fauntleroy while other people die in his place back when aristocracy was more of a thing. These days the blackmail explanation is reason enough. threelemmings fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Aug 18, 2020 |

My grandma has a story from the Korean War where grandad's commanding officer threatened to send granddad to the front if grandma didn't sleep with him. Grandad was friends with a colonel from temple who requested granddad for his staff to get them out of that situation.

I don't have a lot of insight into these rules because I have never served in the military, but it abstractly makes sense to me why a soldier would have fewer personal liberties than a normal citizen and would be subject to a lot of community-oriented rules.

Being a security risk for a clearance is a separate thing from adultery in the UCMJ. Regardless, it's pretty tough to blackmail someone by threatening to tell their spouse when their spouse knows about it and is cool with it.

At my regiment a total loving idiot major started dating a lance corporal and the same year delivered the annual "values and standards" lecture. Major seems to be the level that accumulates all the officer fuckwits. People with proper command potential breeze through it, anyone with imagination and ability quits before they get there.

Our accountant is on a Zoom call with about 20 other people - including outside vendors - and needed to access the financial system. First, she shared her screen while logging in. Then, she unshared the screen and dropped this in Zoom chat:

They would have to be approved by someone else, so it is a risky fraud move to try. But, if someone isn't paying attention and just approving all the requests from the accountant's account, then I could become a bidet god and use the most majestic $150,000 Japanese toilet as my throne.

You have no idea how many times I've done that with auto-type in KeePass and IM's. Followed quickly by "IGNORE THAT!" and me updating my password. Then again, we use 20 different systems. Most of which have unique usernames.

Citibank sent a hedge fund $175 million by mistake. Now it's struggling to get the money backquote:Citibank (C) said in court documents that it meant to send Brigade Capital around $1.5 million in interest payments on a loan the hedge fund made to troubled cosmetics company Revlon (REV). Instead, it wired roughly 100 times that amount of its own funds to the hedge fund. Other Revlon creditors also received erroneous payments adding up to $900 million. Well, if that doesn't sound exactly like what Citibank would do to you if you overpaid your mortgage....

I love the unbolded part of "Other Revlon creditors also received erroneous payments adding up to $900 million." Not exactly a fat-finger transfer when you manage to gently caress up alllll the payments.

It's hard to tell what's going on from the article, but it looks like the original amount was just interest payments, and the full amount could have been the entire value of the loan. So maybe they just have a couple buttons next to each other: "pay interest", "pay off loan"
