No they aren't, and it's a ridiculously stupid argument to make.
They are going to ignore it, REGARDLESS. MS isn't 'making them' do it. they are doing it becasue that's what scum of the earth advertisers do, ignore peoples wishes i order to track them market them, and sell to them. MS's move give power to the people, and shines light on the fact that it can be ignored. It should never be.
Here's a towel; go wipe off the marketing companies cum from your face.
..."but it should be up to the individual webmaster to ignore it or not." no. Absolutely not. Name one other thing where you think that's OK?
The users setting are how the user expects to use that browser. No one should override. The webmaster is free to not allow that person on their site. A simple "You must allow tracking to use our site."..oh, but wait, most people do not want to be tracked, and telling them you want to track them might hurt you visitor count. well, fuck those webmasters, they are petty egomaniacs.
Intel does a lot more RnD, and spends a lot more on cutting edge fabs. Also, the cost per transistor per sqr. cent. isn't really declining like it used to.
"The fact is you're far more likely to get injured or die crossing the street as a pedestrian than you are riding a bicycle in any environment." False. But you go ahead and make false claim and use anecdote to back it up.
But I have personally seen someone traveling at a slow rate of speed on their bicycle (under 5 mph) hit a crack and fall over. I watched him die in my arms from a head injury I could do nothing about.
I have responded to sever bike accident. Every one of them where someone wasn't wearing a helmet had a head injury to some degree.
Its isn't. It is interesting. I nwoudl argue a study focused on that would be justified,. Coming to gross decisions isn't.

" we're dealing with a kind of criminality, a transgression against someone else" mm, not really. A lot of it isn't even a conscious decision. People do it without knowing they do it. They deny it, but when you show them the facts, they either attack the facts, or realize that they don't actual control every decision on a conscious level. Protip: Most you decision aren't on the conscious level. They are predetermined before they 'raise to the level' of conscious thought. Sure, you will reason the decision away, but that's different.

Sexism and racism are making decisions based on someone's sex. " no. It's using there gender or race against them. IF I need a black actor, and hire a black person, I am not being racist.
"Identify sexism and racism, of any type, when they happen, and stop them. Make such things socially unacceptable"
what the fuck do you think this is? What else do you do? arrest people? The majority have no problem if the minority finds the socially unacceptable. Of course that doesn't matter becasue if the majority of society is behaving in a racist way, then they ARE THE SOCIAL NORM. Add to that a surprising about of racism and sexism isn't even done consciously.

Clue: Offering scholarship to an under represented group isn't taking ANYTHING AWAY FROM YOU. I know, you mother told you you are a precious special flower, but that bitch lied.
If thing where equal, the scholarships wouldn't even exist.
It evolved becasue men where critical too immediate food and survival. There for when picking a person to work with, the evolutionary bias is effecting decisions. Fix paygrades and salaries would help end it money disparity, but you would still need to deal woth grade disparity. Anecdote time. ANd remember the plural of anecdote isn't data.
The few places I have worked that had scales and pay grades, also had stricter higher policy. They also had high numbers of women working in come field. for example ~half of IT where women.

Negotiation aren't part of the study. that variable was removed. Read the study.
It's the same resume, just with different names attached.
" on average, men are better at negotiating salaries than women are?" Offers are higher for men.

A planet where congress has done that many, many times. And against the largest companies. You're letting that misconception drive apathy.

Either option is imposing a setting. Are you stupid?

A simple "You must allow tracking to use our site."
You are trying really hard to make MS the bad guy. Is that out of habit? or do you just not think?
Ignoring the user settings is sleazy, cheap, and user hateful. If MS did that, people would be screaming.
The ONLY reason to ignore it is becasue they understand that people will forget to set it themselves, so they don't care.
SHAME on Apache, shame.
No that is a bone head move on Apache. In fact, I would call ignoring the users wishes 'Evil'.
"Microsoft sees the default setting in part as a competitive advantage in its appeal to get users to try Internet Explorer "
And for me, it will work.
and Apaches override default settings? WTF Apache?
"Their iPads and iPhones together outsell every other brand of computer"
And you don't see why that's a false comparison?
I don't mind paying more to a company that puts so much money into RnD, uses less power, and supports so many of the sciences.
People talk about RnD and Science, but talk is cheap.
A) that's at least 3 KW a month.
B) Multiply by millions of chips.
Protip: You aren't the only person on the world.
Those that use platitude instead of actual understanding the subject are doomed to look like an idiot.

As long as your estate pays for the emergency services required from a head injury a helmet is likely to prevent.
But I have personally seen someone traveling at a slow rate of speed on their bicycle (under 5 mph) hit a crack and fall over. I watched him die in my arms from a head injury I could do nothing about.
I have responded to sever bike accident. Every one of them where someone wasn't wearing a helmet had a head injury to some degree.
The moral?
Wear a FUCKING helmet.
also where one when riding a bike.

NPR is the least unbiased news source in the country. You might want to pay attention to how the interview every politician, regardless of party.
Seriously,. pay attention. Had the said Rachel Maddow, you would have had a point.
And no,l it's about 70% today. it can vary 5% or so for most professional careers. It's pretty well documented.
