Forget the Asteroid in 2032 — Worry About the Here and Now

I am not among the people concerned about an asteroid, charmingly named 2024 YR4, that is reportedly hurtling through space on a collision course for Earth. Astronomers and physicists estimate that the space rock, which measures from 130 to 300 feet (a wide variance), has about a 1.5% probability

Juniper CEO Rami Rahim is Right When He Says the DoJ is Wrong

The Danger Zone: When Societies Struggle to Adapt to Technological Change

I’ve thought a lot lately about how previous generations, during prior periods of major technological change, dealt with being caught between the tectonic plates of past, present, and future. Most of us assume, I believe, that tomorrow will be much like today. For the most part, that’s true.

WEF's "Future of Jobs Report" Reveals Only One Certainty

When We Cannot Know: Considering the Suspenseful Case of Super Micro

Today we will look back and look forward. We'll recall a dark tale of a notorious mining company – no longer among the corporate living – and we'll compare and contrast what happened back then with what is happening and might happen at server vendor Super Micro. Fortunately,
