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
Did Juniper CEO Rami Rahim reach out to SDxCentral for an interview, or was the approach from the latter to the former? The answer to that question doesn’t negate anything that Rahim said in an article published by SDxCentral, but it would be interesting to know the answer.

In the past few days, arguably too much has been written and said about the emergence
The TikTok Mouse and the Elephant in The Room
We’ve reached a point, here in the fast-moving eddies of the digital era, where snapshots of a given point in the space-time continuum are nearly impossible to capture. Time doesn’t present itself as an orderly sequence of discrete blips, like the ellipses that follow a stray thought, but
Quantum Mania: Amid the Present Puffery, A Seemingly Bright Future
You could say that it’s the best of times, the worst of times, and practically the non-existent times for quantum computing. The sentence I’ve just typed is paradoxical, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
The information-technology industry seems to be forming a consensus that quantum computing
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.
