Budding authors face a minefield when it comes to publishing their work. For a large fee, as much as $3,000, they can make their work available to anyone who wants to read it. Or they can avoid the fee and have readers pay the publisher instead. Academics share machine-learning research freely. Taxpayers should not have to pay twice to read our findings

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

After doing the news for a day, plus a weekend inbetween, I assumed, "I don't have to check all the already posted news anymore."
At least I didn't make it the headline ...

Oracle's aggressive sales tactics are turning off customers, setting a roadblock in the company's race to catch up with Amazon Web Services in the cloud, according to a report on The Information. Oracle Corp. is threatening customers of its on-premises software with potentially expensive usage audits and strongly suggesting those customers could solve their problems by moving to the cloud.

The way they handle licensing is just ridiculous. Where ever possible, I look for an alternative.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

When former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was asked about Elon Musk’s warnings about AI, he had a succinct answer: “I think Elon is exactly wrong.” "Would you not invent the telephone because of the possible misuse of the telephone by evil people?"

A larger concern that is starting to draw increased attention is the power usage that comes from mining cryptocurrencies on a large scale. "I can't afford to run my AC today, but it's all in the name of progress." *enthusiastic wink and smile*

I remember the moment when code began to interest me. It was the tail end of 2013 and a cult was forming around a mysterious “crypto-currency” called bitcoin in the excitable tech quarters of London, New York and San Francisco. Is learning to code in middle age a fool’s errand or a committed act of digital citizenship?

The author speaking of his experience starting to learn Python:Quote: I instantly appreciate the concision of Van Rossum’s layout, which, like written prose and many other programming languages, uses indentation to delineate blocks of code rather than littering the screen with symbols (such as arrays of brackets and braces) to achieve the same result.

Quote: Chinese companies already claim several superlatives in 21st century technology, including the largest maker of phone equipment and the dominant platform for online shopping, as well as electronic payments. But the core components of all these companies are made by either Intel or Qualcomm, and the operating systems at the heart of their applications are by Google’s Android unit in smartphones, or Microsoft for computers.

One of the big advantages that Microsoft has been promoting for its Edge browser is that it's more battery efficient than both Chrome and Firefox. Once Edge had a big advantage over competing browsers. It doesn't any more.

You should create an automated RSS feed into this forum using a handful (3-5) of tech news sites (trusted tech news aggregates, etc.) that way you guys are NOT manually picking articles. I am assuming you are manually picking articles here - I could be wrong.
