I read the article but I'm still confused how this works.

My understanding is the herpes virus DNA is integrated into our own. So once the gene editing molecules snip at the herpes virus damaging it, how does the chromosome get put back together?

Is it actually sniping at two places in the herpes genome in a way that the two ends match up and reform while cutting out a section in the middle?

Of course, not roads only, the USA is still terrible and China and India are still not on the list.

When asked why the Times doesn't see its job as trying to "stop Trump," Kahn completely missed the point and said journalism's role is to provide "impartial information" rather than becoming a "propaganda arm."

That's pretty rich when you read any of the New York Times' coverage of countries that are America's geopolitical enemies. Their articles practically read like State Department press releases.

People always complain on Lemmy about Telegram and point at alternatives that are theoretically better in terms of security and privacy.

Yet the security and privacy on Lemmy are good enough that you routinely see governments complaining about how they can't get at the info on Telegram like this story here, all while Telegram has a UI and experience that blows every competing messenger completely away.

What's the lesson to take away?

This article seems to omit the most important fact about headphones - how do they sound?

I love repairability and all, but it hardly matters if I don't want to use them in the first place because they traded off too much quality for repairability.

Revolutionary! They've done it again!

How can I pay?

Wow optional is a big word here that should be at the very top of the article and this discussion.

I don't get it, what do you mean?

The British news outlet The Guardian: "Many predicted Nato expansion would lead to war. Those warnings were ignored."

It's hardly unprecedented. The USA felt forced into an aggressive response to the Soviets putting missiles in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Pretty rare to see an honest reveal on how much of a propaganda mouthpiece one of these big Western news agencies is.

Now if only people will remember this and not come down with Gell-Mann Amnesia the next time the free press is pushing people to hate a group or take sides in a conflict.

The thing about this is, it's not like CNN's coverage of this is different than that of the other Western media outlets, so presumably the same things are happening in every one of their newsrooms. They all did things like dehumanize the Palestinians by referring to their deaths in the passive voice.
