dr. monroe, i know dr. putnam mentioned about cubits, how many in quantum computers, but here is the question. what's the signal-to-noise ratio for cubits, by which i mean how many it needed for a useful quantum computer and of those how many would be performing calculations? >> thank you for the question. i probably won't answer it to your liking. >> to my understanding. >> we don't know yet how many cubits are needed for something useful that can displace conventional computers, however, a number -- roughly a small number of about 75 or 100 cubits is enough to show certain very esoteric and narrow, maybe not useful problems can be solved that cannot be solved using conventional computers. that doesn't mean they're useful. so it is sort of a proof of principle, and that's going to happen very soon. then the question after that happens, once we're beyond that mile post, the idea is to find something useful. i think the only way to find something useful is to put these devices in the hands of people that don

the dr response addresses these concerns. it includes a competing arborist report that said it will not harm the tree. it a farmed that the 14 foot set back from the shared property line and placement of windows will maintain the privacy for the dr requester's property, and it concludes that the project does not demolish or materially alter the physical characteristics of the landmark building, and therefore, it does not cause any adverse impact for ceqa. since publication of the dr analysis, the department has received four letters in opposition to the project that raise concerns relative to retaining the tree, the amount of proposed excavation and the small scale of the home. additionally, this week, the historic preservation commission scheduled the nomination for the tree landmarking on june 20th. staff has consulted with the department's preservation planners, the department of public works and sf environment and confirmed the landmarking process may move inened at that em with the processing of this building permit befo

dr. hirsch, there has been a lot of media attention around allegations that cambridge analytica helped president trump improperly influence the 2016 election by utilizing data received from facebook. him cambridge claims the facebook data was ineffective, was deleted upon request, and was not used in the work for the trump campaign. if cambridge had utilized the data, what impact do you think the organization impacted and strategies with mr. wylie described as military style information warfare can have on influencing the outcome of an election given the kind of data it receives from facebook? >> as i said in my testimony, it is hard to move people. it is easier to mobilize or potentially demobilized people and persuade people, but there has not been evidence presented from facebook or cambridge analytica, data that does exist, that could answer this question. when facebook or cambridge analytica runs ads, they have a control group and treatment group, and they could know the answer to th

dr. king gave a speech it's given before.hat good does it do to have a man have integrated lunch counters if he can't buy hamburger. creating more integrated lunch counters or even having the right to vote legal rights without economic justice wasn't enough. i think what mike is doing is important. it helps us better center what dr. king's stories were all about. i got one of those leaflets that he talked to in my neighborhood. for a free angela rally. i was a student at northside high school at the time i was 16. it wasn't long after that that i found that mike lived around the corner for me. i did not had to catch it down. the memphis movement is critical and mike has done the best job of anyone i know of exploring that. his book going down jericho road is really a great book. where they interviewed people in video tapes them. he took that first hand information and he woven it with other historical documents and created a tremendous quote. but this book is critical i think because it talks about dr. king's deep roots in hi

bridget welsh do you foresee dr mahathir having as much political sway as he held in the past. actually i think in some ways he will have more in that he has a mandate was massive coming into office we're talking about almost twenty to twenty five percent swings in voters and construed in constituencies and unlike in the past where he came in from the system he's coming in as a comeback person someone at the age of ninety two the oldest living leader in the world right now and he is seen as actually coming in to make changes to try to make the system better to correct some of the mistakes that he made when he was in office from one hundred eighty one to two thousand and three so i think he's going to be in some ways powerful very powerful he's only he's also a man in the hurry so he's not planning to stay long so i think that this is going to create a dynamism to his administration that i think will be very important as malaysia moves forward songs you i want to pick up on something that bridget was just mentioning the fact that it's expected that dr mahathir will not want to s

dr. hall, thank you for this report. as you know, this update was delayed from its normal release in january due to congressional activity at the end of last year. i appreciate cbo's dedication to integrating into the final product analysis of last december's tax cuts and jobs act as well as the 2018 bipartisan budget act and the omnibus appropriations bill. it's vital that this committee have the most up to date information in order to understand the fiscal impact of the policies being implemented. this year's reported, like so many before it, shines a spotlight on our country's unsustainable fiscal outlook. automatic spending programs like social security and medicare are growing disproportionately to the revenue and outpacing the economy. consider this. automatic spending will soon consume all the taxes and revenues the federal government collects and that's before $1 goes to providing for our national defense and other priorities funded through so-called discretionary spending as part

tonight on c-span, dr. dr. jant yellen like the facebook ceo mark zuckerberg talks about learning how to become an effective education philanthropist and the shortcomings in the current education system. here's a look. >> this is not going to sound humble and i also think it's true of all of you in this room. i was really good student. were you guys pretty good students? but what that means is that i was, i am really good at sitting in a lecture hall just like this listening to someone share information, write it down and then tell it back to someone later. i'm still really good at it. if i were in your seats i would be really having a good time. i'm having a good time up here, too. but like, when it actually went to work with families, build the primary school, i didn't have any of that skill set no one ever prepared before that. i asked my friends who got mbas, did the teacher this? now. the core of it is our current system even if we are wildly successful don't actually prepare students to do what they need

dr. gregory bernstein and former military physician and our contributor and kate anderson brower. sanjay, she'll be in the hospital for the rest of the week. it sounds pretty serious, if you could be spending all of that time in the hospital? >> yeah, i think that is worth pointing out. i don't know if this is because she's the first lady or if this is because it is an abundance of caution. but if you typically hear of someone having an embolization procedure, which basically is just threading a catheter into one of the blood vessels and then using that catheter to go to an area to stop blood flow to -- in this case part of the kidney, that can -- maybe a night in the hospital and that is typical. i don't know if there -- there were more concerned about something with her in particular. but i think you're right, that that is something that i think there is still questions about why the longer hospital stay. >> well let's ask dr. bernstein, you're an expert in this area and a urologist. >>
