Everything Everywhere Daily - How Hawaii Became a State (Encore)

The United States consists of 50 states, each of which is represented by a star on the American flag. 

Most of those states consist of some section of North America divided by lines on a map that separate them from other states, Canada, or Mexico.

But there is one state that is not like the others. It isn’t located in North America. It doesn’t have a land border with anything, and its route to statehood was unlike that of any other state in the union. 

Learn more about the long and controversial way Hawaii became a state on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Are quantum computers already super-powerful?

Google claim their latest quantum computer chip is able to process something in five minutes it would take a normal computer 10 septillion years to figure out.

As this is a massive amount longer than the entire history of the known universe, that seems to suggest the chip is extremely powerful.

But when you understand what?s going on, the claim doesn?t seem quite so impressive. Dr Peter Leek, a quantum computer scientist from Oxford University, explains the key context.
