Fair enough. Probably not worth risking my job over then. I didn’t know if it was possible to verify receipts like that. But if it’s a possibility, then nah.

I would consider it mid-sized. Internal accounting department, not outsourced.

Would the size matter? So bigger companies reconcile every receipt with the company that provided the receipt?

ULPT Request: Using airlines rewards miles to get cash - Lemmy.World

I travel for work, and have accrued about $12k worth of airlines points. I don’t really want to use them for personal travel, as I travel too much as is. Would it be possible to: 1. Book a flight. 2. Get a receipt for the booking. 3. Cancel the flight within 24 hours for a full refund back to my card. 4. Book the same flight using points. 5. Use the receipt in my expenses to get reimbursed for cash. Or is there something I’m missing? Do they have any contact with the airline to confirm the receipt is legit? I almost don’t even consider this unethical, as the company is paying the same as they would if I didn’t use my points.

TSA is moving away from ion mobility detection to mass spec detection. Mass specs are great at detecting it.

Right back at ya… obviously.
It can be, but it isn’t.
The theorem is only true if monkeys are random. But monkeys are not random, and therefore this cannot be proved true using monkeys.

Yeah I get that, what I’m arguing is that monkey input != random input. Therefore the probably is not 1.

And the Monty Hall problem is really cool, and yes, I’ve seen it before, but it doesn’t have anything to do with this one.

No, I’m saying it’s not just improbable (if it were improbable, then yes, it would happen), I’m saying it’s impossible because of behavior.

As a small example, let’s say you wanted to type the ABC’s. However, every time you typed, your finger slid to press the key next to it as well. Then, no matter how many times you tried, you would never be able to type the ABC’s. That’s an exaggerated example of what I believe the monkeys would do. They simply would not be able to type letters at random. The way they work, they would be forced to mush buttons that do not allow for whole words.

If there was another scenario where there were about 30 boxes (one for each letter and any punctuation needed), and the monkey had to get a banana from one of the boxes, and that is what ‘typed’ the script, then yes, an infinite number of monkeys would be able to type Shakespeare. But because it’s a typewriter, I don’t think even an infinite amount would be able to.
