Even in the old days, an album could go double platinum and still be 'recouping' and so no check for the band. Perhaps a kickstarter like thing for a tour or to produce an album released to contributors early (with the biggest contributors credited somewhere).
I'm not sure what the answer is, but album sales were never a big source of income for musicians.
If your manager got where he is the same way, he's not that likely to bust you. Meanwhile, you have time to actually learn the material. Finally, do you really think the cheap outsource ops in India won't hire pretty much anyone with the right paper?
I have worked on joint projects in the U.S. where a whole department's worth of people obviously didn't retain anything from their education. None of them were fired even when the project failed due to them not accomplishing any of the project goals.
Do you know one characteristic that can be counted on for inferior goods? That's right, they're sold off in bulk for cheap to get rid of them.
In other cases there's a kickback behind the sale and the book was never meant to be actually useful. You tend to see that in places where there is a lot of government corruption like...(drum roll please)...India!
And I don't blame (or credit) the school system where I grew up in the U.S. for my education, but then I had easy access to good libraries, my dad's college books, and a few exceptional teachers.
Did you really just suggest that the safetys should have a safety in case they get bypassed? What if someone bypasses the safety safety? Another safety? Admittedly, that will eventually work when the many layers of safeties keep the machine from doing anything and the user loses interest, but it's not that practical.
No amount of sandboxing will help you if you click past the warning that 'your bank' appears to be protected by a self-signed cert. At the same time, there are plenty of sites where a self-signed cert is just fine.
It also won't help for things that require the sandbox to be permitted access to data outside the sandbox. The default, naturally is let it fail, but what if the user clicks allow? At the same time, there are legitimate cases where allow is the correct (or at least acceptable) response.
Beyond that, the browser already is a sandbox, it's just that there are usually ways past a sandbox because sandboxing isn't actually all that easy.
At some point, a human decision is required and that human needs to act responsibly.
What makes you so sure the course materials weren't crap as well? Why would you believe that the same education system that doesn't care if the teacher is qualified or not would suddenly get conscientious about the textbooks?
Many text books are actually not that useful without a lecture from a teacher that knows the subject. If you have a half decent library or affordable book store nearby, that problem can be solved readily enough. If not, you might find yourself stuck. Your best bet might be fake it till you make it. That is, get past the test any way you can and then use the increased income or the better school with an actual library that follows to buy or borrow the books you should have been able to read in the first place but couldn't.
I'm not claiming that is what all of them are doing but likewise a claim that none are doing that is unlikely.
Beyond that, let's face it, here in the U.S. where cheating is not so rampant, cram and forget is common and in many cases a degree really is just a piece of paper to wave at the gatekeepers in HR.
Cram and forget really should be considered cheating since it is in no way a proper measure of understanding (no more than memorizing your grocery list long enough to go shopping is) but since it is "within the rules" it is not only accepted but applauded.
Yes, and that reason is that during the cleanup after WWII, the French didn't bath much due to a soap shortage. Having occupying Nazis goose stepping everywhere will do that and it takes a while to recover.
I don't imagine you'd smell all that pleasant if the last time you were able to find a bar of soap was 6 months ago.
The same way a sound card does it. Each sample yields a value (for example) from 0 to 255 encoded in binary.
Or, for example, an 8 line GPIO can be encoded into a single byte.
For a less neat example, perhaps a sample can be one of 3 levels, 00, 01, or 10. Those can be packed into a byte and quickly translated, either through a combination of masking adding and multiplying into an accumulator or a table lookup where some table indices would indicate illegal states. You could call it binary coded base 3, analogous to binary coded decimal.
Sounds like a perfect match with employers who post literally impossible qualifications (5 years experience in a 3 year old technology for example) and then when they don't find a local qualified applicant, miraculously find the literally impossible H1-B candidate.
Apparently, the problem is that nobody can learn calculus from a teacher that doesn't know calculus. But those with aptitude can hope that if they cheat their way past the arbitrary cutoff, perhaps they will get the opportunity to actually learn the material later. If they don't cheat, they will have no such opportunity to make it right later, through no fault of their own.
The education system has also failed them. In some cases the teachers were ineffective and didn't know the material they were supposed to be teaching. Combine that with a single test that makes or breaks your future and mass cheating is an inevitable result. When that many students have friends and family that willing to help them cheat, it's an indication that the test or the surrounding educational system has huge and obvious defects.
Nah, they just happen to know that most people who attempt suicide regret it nearly the instant they commit to it.
The only exceptions to that either commit suicide in a private place where nobody will see them until well after the fact (perhaps they regret it too, we just don't know) or they are dying anyway from terminal disease and decided that it was time. The latter is the only group we have evidence for a lack of regret.
But do please tell me a way I can visually identify you. I would hate to accidentally infringe on your rights by warning you a bus is coming or dragging you out of a fire (perhaps you wanted to die in a fire, who am I to stop you?).

It also told them that you travel internationally.

You do know that the current state of affairs is just rolling regulatory changes back to what was in place when the internet exploded don't you?
It's being done to keep ISPs from rolling things back to the days of the walled garden step by step.

We could transfer the DEA's funding over. Or the NSA's. We could raid the blowing up brown people fund.
So it's purely a coincidence that the problems went away when Enron did?
Yes, I am.
Still missing the point I see.
Hint, it doesn't make you look smart, quite the opposite.
Or your partner just got used to it and you have been walking blissfully unaware past wilting flowers and bloodshot eyes.
Or perhaps you aren't also short on antiperspirant and fresh water to shower in.

No, but if they claim to have unbiased search results, they owe everyone unbiased search results.
There is that too. People think that if they don't smell like the latest perfume added to their soap that they need more.
Right, that's why the pollution is being controlled. Your freedom to pollute stops at the other guy's lungs.
Continued high pollution is a net loss in terms of healthcare, illness, and early deaths.

No, it's still their job. They're just not doing it.
It takes a special kind of lowlife to routinely traumatize children just to cover your own ass.
Short of tasering the user when they try to click past it, what would you have them do?
There actually are legitimate reasons to bypass the warnings in most cases.
Their job is to serve children and families, not cover their asses.
