Times may change, but one thing remains the same. According to Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report," that one thing is Jon Stewart. “He still sucks," Rubin jokes. Stewart recently took it upon himself to attack intellectual powerhouse Ben Shapiro — and he did not come out on top. The talk show host teed himself up by playing a clip of Shapiro commenting on Kamala Harris’ accomplishments. This, Shapiro pointed out, was more of a lack of accomplishments. “She’s never earned or won anything. Like, she was legitimately handed her original post in California state government because she was sleeping with Willie Brown, and then he backed her in the race for San Francisco,” Shapiro said in the clip. “Okay 'Squeaks,'” Stewart commented sarcastically, adding, “I don’t know, guys, you’re being awfully subtle here.” While he looked and sounded incredibly smug, what he actually accomplished was setting Shapiro up to destroy him. “He’s 61 years old and still doesn’t know most basic things but pretends he’s smart by making the same obnoxious snarky faces my 10-year-old sometimes makes,” Shapiro says. “I am 5'9", and John Stewart is a midgetly 5'7". He’s also a complete cynical boob.” “By this, I mean that his entire game is to ignore issues in favor of cheap insults. That’s literally what he does, like, all the time. There are never any arguments,” he adds before pulling his own clip of Stewart on CNN’s "Crossfire." In the clip, Stewart yells at Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala, who were arguing differing views on the show, and tells them what they’re doing is ruining America. “Stewart is largely responsible for having turned all of American politics into that exact same game,” Shapiro adds, disgusted.

Busan is the cleanest city I've ever seen: not a cigarette butt or gum wrapper on the ground. No garbage pails either. I'm told that if people see litter on the ground, they pick it up and put it in their pocket until they can throw it away. Last month, I was in Korea's second-largest city for the 2024 Busan International Motor Show, which has been held biennially since 2001. Starting this year, it has a new name: the Busan International Mobility Show, which better reflects the wider range of transportation innovation it hopes to showcase. [Hyundai] has built every vehicle it makes to be either hybrid, gas, or electric. The company was smart enough to say, 'Let's make this like Lego: same body, different drive line underneath.'I didn't see any flying cars, but my visit did give me the chance to reflect on the rise of the Korean automobile industry in the last two decades. Korean cars have been in the United States market since 1986, with the Hyundai Excel. That car was a huge hit with American consumers, but quality issues over the long run gave it and other Hyundai models a bad reputation. In 1998, Hyundai decided to change its poor reputation abroad by making massive investments in design, quality, and marketing. It looked at how the Japanese were offering packaged trim levels and did the same. It also looked at the typical U.S. three-year, 32,000-mile warranty and decided to more than triple that: 10 years, 100,000 miles, including basic maintenance. To this day, no other manufacturers have tried to compete on warranty. The Germans have extended their warranties to four years, 50,000 miles, which hasn't kept Hyundai from taking a big chunk of their market. Hyundai also began manufacturing in America. It 2005, it opened a factory in Montgomery, Alabama; followed by a Kia factory (Hyundai has been Kia's parent company since 1997) in West Point, Georgia, in 2010. The latter expects to roll its five millionth car off the assembly line sometime in 2025.Last year Hyundai's luxury brand Genesis began producing the Electrified GV70 SUV in the Montgomery plant, the first Genesis model to be manufactured in America. I spoke to Hyundai head Jay Chang about their EV strategy. While vehicles the Kia EV9 have gotten a lot of acclaim, I asked him point blank what happens if the market for EVs collapses? His answer was simple: we'll make electric vehicles if people want them. Unlike us, Hyundai doesn't have an EV mandate; moreover, it's realized electric cars aren't the answer. So instead of going all in, it's built every vehicle it makes to be either hybrid, gas, or electric. The company was smart enough to say, "Let's make this like Lego: same body, different drive line underneath." And now that the Genesis line is competing with luxury vehicles Lexus and Mercedes, it's beginning to go after the performance market — vehicles like BMW's M series and Audi RS — with its Magma line. I spoke a little with Hyundai Motor Group president and chief creative officer Luc Donckerwolke about this, and the company has assembled some top-notch talent, including veteran Porsche engineer Manfred Harrer as well as BMW veteran (and recent Hyundai head of R&D) Albert Biermann.While in Korea I was also able to visit Ulsan and tour the largest car factory in the world. No cameras allowed, unfortunately, but I did watch as vehicles were loaded onto a ship with unbelievable grace and precision: It was like one big musical number. They loaded 12 floors of cars (over 10,000 vehicles in all) in six hours. It's important to note here that not only is Hyundai half-owned by the Korean government, but it's very well vertically integrated. Hyundai owns a steel company as well as a chip company — the latter, MegaChip, gave Hyundai a huge advantage during the supply-chain crisis.

Following the aesthetics of the Opera One desktop browser, Opera is now releasing its AI-focused web browser on the iPhone. In a market dominated by Google Chrome with thin slices for other browsers like Safari, the company thinks this is the perfect moment to lure users to a new experience. “Our research shows mobile phone users are six times more likely to be happy than not after switching away from their system’s default browser, ” said Jona Bolin, Product Manager at Opera. “So with Opera One for iOS, we want to further raise the bar and deliver a better browsing experience versus what users will find pre-installed." What sets Opera One apart is the new AI-powered browsing experience. According to the company, it features Aria, a free, unlimited built-in browser AI that provides updated web results and can assist users in a range of tasks such as information retrieval, text or code generation, and product inquiries. Opera says Aria is regularly updated to incorporate new capabilities. It currently features voice input and image generation using Google's Imagen2 image generation model. Opera One for iOS also revamps the search functionality as when the user starts typing the query, new search suggestions provide the completion of a word or the best match for the next word. This makes searching more productive with fewer taps. With these features, Opera believes Opera One offers intuitive browse navigation. The Bottom Search bar makes it easy for users to manipulate their devices with one hand. However, users can opt between this option, a Standard Navigation, or Fast Action Button modes.

A team of archaeologists and genetic scientists have completed an extensive DNA analysis of the skeletal remains of a child who was buried several hundred years ago at the pre-Columbian site of Paquimé (Casas Grandes), which is located in the state of Chihuahua in northern Mexico. In a new study just published in Antiquity, the researchers show that this child’s parents were closely related elites, possibly half-siblings. Furthermore, the researchers reveal that this child was sacrificed to the gods, in a ritual that would have been considered extremely powerful because of its association with an aristocratic bloodline. Unraveling the Mysteries of Paquimé At the height of its prosperity and influence in the 13th and 14th centuries, Paquimé was essentially the capital of the pre-Columbian Mogollon culture. As its adobe ruins have been well-preserved, the site has been heavily explored by archaeologists over the past several decades. But researchers still have a lot to learn about the society the people of the Mogollon culture built, and about the  genetic history of the people who lived in Paquimé specifically. “Archaeologists have studied Paquimé for decades and have learned much about its rise and fall, the people who lived there, their ritual practices, and more”, the new study’s lead author, Dr. Jakob Sedig from Chronicle Heritage and Harvard University, explained in a press release. “However, many questions remain, especially about the site's social hierarchy and how Paquimé's inhabitants were biologically related to each other and their neighbors.” Read moreSection: NewsHistory & ArchaeologyAmericasAncient PlacesHistoryAncient TraditionsRead Later 

It would be fair to argue that the English Jamestown colonists are not exactly history’s most revered people. Apart from, well, their colonialist outlook, they apparently resorted to cannibalism in the early 17th century, owned and abused chattel slaves, and ate dogs to survive. Now, a new DNA study has pointed to a taboo secret that has been gleaned from the graves of two of the high-status late 16th and early 17th century individuals. It seems one of the two was an illegitimate child. Dog Meat: Jamestown Colonists Killed and Ate Indigenous Dogs Archaeologists Identify Remains of the Early Colonists of Jamestown Excavating the Church Site: High Status Individual Graves Archaeologists have excavated the site of the town's 1608-1616 church, where the first representative assembly in America, known as the General Assembly, met in 1619. During these excavations, several burials were uncovered near the church's altar, specifically in the Chancel area. DNA analysis was conducted on the skeletal remains of two male individuals found in these burials. Read moreSection: NewsHistory & ArchaeologyRead Later
