This podcast features two co-hosts discussing various topics, including a new BYD charging system for EVs that offers a 400km range in 5 minutes, the varying adoption rates of EVs across different countries (Norway leading at 90%, China at 50%, and Japan at 1.7%), and a labor strike at a Sushiro sushi restaurant in Japan due to low wages (1000 yen/hour). The discussion also touches upon the James Webb Space Telescope's imaging of exoplanets, revealing the presence of carbon dioxide on one, and a genetic study suggesting early humans originated from two distinct populations that later interbred. Finally, they analyze a Netflix show about a 13-year-old boy arrested for murder and discuss the cultural differences in the depiction of Japanese culture in the new Assassin's Creed game. The conversation highlights the trade-offs in technological advancements (EV range vs. charging time), the impact of inflation on wages, and the complexities of cultural representation in media.
