Everything Everywhere Daily - Supercomputers and the Evolution of Computing Power

If you’ve been around long enough, and by that, I only mean a couple of years, you have probably observed the one fundamental truth about computers: they always get faster. 

While games and web browning might seem faster, the average person’s computer usage doesn’t necessarily express just how much more powerful computers have become. 

In particular, for several decades, supercomputers have been developed which are vastly more powerful than what is one your desk or in your pocket. Unless that is, you make comparisons over time…

Learn more about supercomputers, the evolution of computing power and how your computer stacks up to supercomputers of the past on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Dr. Sun Yat-sen (Encore)

For over two thousand years, China lived under imperial rule. A series of dynasties and emperors were the defining feature of Chinese governance. 

However, in the early 20th century, China threw off its imperial rulers and became, for the first time in its history, a republic. 

Much of the reason why China became a republic was due to one man.

Learn more about Sun Yat-sen and the downfall of imperial China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Jon, Lovett, Dan, and Tommy react to all the latest from the first day of action in Chicago as well as Trump's latest failure to stick to his script. Then, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker stops by to talk about hosting the DNC and why he's had so much success going after Republicans.

The fictional Olympics at the heart of Rufaro Faith Mazarura's novel, Let the Games Begin, kick off in Athens.
