schestowitzThe point I'd raise here, however, is that this airline was a German company rather than a U.S. one. My understanding was that the Germans treat their employees somewhat better than U.S. companies do.Mar 29 04:56

schestowitz__"Mar 30 08:34
schestowitz__OK. The story mentions Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It seems to be a UK government body that funds research. I looked at its site. Nothing pops up directly but there are some potential references. The UK universities are mentioned in its Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research.Mar 30 08:34
schestowitz__Another search found some grants that seem to be related to the program. For instance, this one. At first glance it looks like basic research. I have no idea what is done with the results of this research. Though normally academic research yields published research papers.Mar 30 08:34

schestowitz__Cronos,Mar 30 08:34
schestowitz__I may or may not be watching Fox News. Please just consider what I write.Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__But then again, accusing someone of biased sources of information is a bit rich when the immediate source of this story is the Russian state-funded Russia Today. That network reputation is probably even worse than that of Fox Network. Sadly none of you bothered to question the story as presented there, which is clearly misleading, to say the least.Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__I did not read the article, what it drawn my attention was saying that RT was a questionable source. I just lost the count of WTFs related to Fox News because that's open and shameless propaganda, and about other mainstream Western media they expose sensitive things the way it's better to Western governments, in particular the US.Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__All the media is biased more or less, but if I had to choose only one news company I would chose RT news. If I had to choose only two I would include Al Jazeera as well. Fortunately I'm not restricted and also read the Google news feed.Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__So I guess the question here becomes whether or not you trust Vladimir Putin's news.Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__I don't. I see Putin as as much an imperialist as the U.S. and NATO.Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__And no, I'm not interested in the argument that NATO is encircling Russia. Russia's right to defend itself ends at its borders. Just as the U.S. right to defend itself ends at its borders. That the U.S. thinks it's defending itself in the Middle East doesn't make it right for Russia to pretend it's defending itself in Ukraine.Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 08:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__Cronos,Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__I may or may not be reading Fox News (casually or regularly). Why do you refer to me as "reader of Fox News"? Did I refer to a source of Fox News? Can you demonstrate that my criticism is directly based on a Fox Media source? If not - it's irrelevant. Don't ass u me.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__David Benfill,Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__In this case: no. While I have my opinion as to the quality of the Russia Today network, this article is clearly a work of bad journalism:Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__I starts with a piece of information that is correct, but is presented in a misleading way ("spying"). This is about basic (and maybe also applied) scientific research. Until shown otherwise[1], this is funding of academic researches done in the open.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__Furthermore, "security" is not necessarily used to attack. Security can also be used to defend. The research paper I linked to (which happened to be the first I found) deals with secure distributed calculation of a function. Something not completely unlike the way distributed digital coins maintain their common ledgers. Tor was originally created by the US Naval Research Laboratory.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__I couldn't find a direct statement. The Jewish Chronicle has a more complete copy of those words. Also note that the Talpiot scheme mentioned in the end is indeed a military project. But this won't be funded here.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__So what else is there in an article? The rest of the article is fillers. Normally (and this is not specifically rt.com - you'd find it in many, if not most, magazines) they have a small story but have to build a standard-size article out of it. Hence fill it with background stories and old stories.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__The article tries to hint that this collaboration is about spying. It does that by mixing the five eyes with a network of five countries who (consider themselves to be) hi-tech-countries - Estonia, Israel, New-Zealand, South Korea and the UK.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__The article then goes on to show that there's some cooperation on the intelligence level between the US, the UK and Israel. This is:Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__    Irrelevant. The article has nothing to do with spying.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__    Misleading. Pick the US and two random countries, and you'll probably be able to show cooperation between their intelligence services.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__So, the article knowingly takes a story about scientific cooperation and distorts it into a spy story. This is bad journalism.Mar 30 08:36
schestowitz__[1] This is research done with the British tax payers money. I guess there is some oversight over it.Mar 30 08:36

schestowitz"tzafrir: the common way of farming brings to desertification. All the CO2 that are in the soil goes to the air cause are not sequestred (as in natural farming). Plus fertility goes away, plus there is sterilization of the soil (salt from agrochemical products doesn't leave bacteria act), plus climate change, plus...

schestowitzEnrico, [citation needed]. Please point to a way in which GMO products (a tag added to this message) make reduce carbon sequestration or whatever related argument. If you cut down forests and replace them with fields, you reduce the carbon sequestration, but this is unrelated to the method used for growing the croft there.Apr 04 19:38
schestowitzGround saltation is due to using too much fertalizers. Likewise if you use too much manure you may induce too high levels of nitrates and other types of potential contaminations.Apr 04 19:38
schestowitz"Apr 04 19:38
schestowitz"tzafrir, the point it is just that. We need to change our way of farming and not just change some dna traits or genes. That it is just a veil that hide the real problem or that makes even worse to deal with (long term GMO products just fail on what they promised, clear example are bt corn and roundup resistent soy). GMO products use for sure more energy (and so more CO2 produced) than standard selection or cross breeding (in situ).Apr 04 19:39
schestowitzNatural farming use compost, not manure, so there would be not nitrates at all."Apr 04 19:39
schestowitz"Apr 04 19:39
schestowitz@tzafrir I won't focus on why GMO companies have to prove the safety of GMO products to the consumers, not the other way around, or why GMO companies want legislation for both approve the use of GMO seeds and forbid people of knowing whether their food has GMO or not, or why pesticides required for using GMO seeds are so toxic there is a need of very careful handling, or when GMO seeds are used they will spread around no matter what it'Apr 04 19:39
schestowitzs done for preventing that and then there will be no choice about having GMO food or not.Apr 04 19:39
schestowitzI only would like to say this: if you think that depending of one company forever for something as important as food is a good business practice, then you might be interested in using proprietary software, I have heard that the total cost of ownership is lower than using Free Software:Apr 04 19:39

schestowitz__OK. The story mentions Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. It seems to be a UK government body that funds research. I looked at its site. Nothing pops up directly but there are some potential references. The UK universities are mentioned in its Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research.Mar 30 07:34
schestowitz__Another search found some grants that seem to be related to the program. For instance, this one. At first glance it looks like basic research. I have no idea what is done with the results of this research. Though normally academic research yields published research papers.Mar 30 07:34

schestowitz__Cronos,Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__I may or may not be watching Fox News. Please just consider what I write.Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__But then again, accusing someone of biased sources of information is a bit rich when the immediate source of this story is the Russian state-funded Russia Today. That network reputation is probably even worse than that of Fox Network. Sadly none of you bothered to question the story as presented there, which is clearly misleading, to say the least.Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__I did not read the article, what it drawn my attention was saying that RT was a questionable source. I just lost the count of WTFs related to Fox News because that's open and shameless propaganda, and about other mainstream Western media they expose sensitive things the way it's better to Western governments, in particular the US.Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__All the media is biased more or less, but if I had to choose only one news company I would chose RT news. If I had to choose only two I would include Al Jazeera as well. Fortunately I'm not restricted and also read the Google news feed.Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__So I guess the question here becomes whether or not you trust Vladimir Putin's news.Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__I don't. I see Putin as as much an imperialist as the U.S. and NATO.Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__And no, I'm not interested in the argument that NATO is encircling Russia. Russia's right to defend itself ends at its borders. Just as the U.S. right to defend itself ends at its borders. That the U.S. thinks it's defending itself in the Middle East doesn't make it right for Russia to pretend it's defending itself in Ukraine.Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 07:35
schestowitz__"Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__Cronos,Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__I may or may not be reading Fox News (casually or regularly). Why do you refer to me as "reader of Fox News"? Did I refer to a source of Fox News? Can you demonstrate that my criticism is directly based on a Fox Media source? If not - it's irrelevant. Don't ass u me.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__David Benfill,Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__In this case: no. While I have my opinion as to the quality of the Russia Today network, this article is clearly a work of bad journalism:Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__I starts with a piece of information that is correct, but is presented in a misleading way ("spying"). This is about basic (and maybe also applied) scientific research. Until shown otherwise[1], this is funding of academic researches done in the open.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__Furthermore, "security" is not necessarily used to attack. Security can also be used to defend. The research paper I linked to (which happened to be the first I found) deals with secure distributed calculation of a function. Something not completely unlike the way distributed digital coins maintain their common ledgers. Tor was originally created by the US Naval Research Laboratory.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__I couldn't find a direct statement. The Jewish Chronicle has a more complete copy of those words. Also note that the Talpiot scheme mentioned in the end is indeed a military project. But this won't be funded here.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__So what else is there in an article? The rest of the article is fillers. Normally (and this is not specifically rt.com - you'd find it in many, if not most, magazines) they have a small story but have to build a standard-size article out of it. Hence fill it with background stories and old stories.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__The article tries to hint that this collaboration is about spying. It does that by mixing the five eyes with a network of five countries who (consider themselves to be) hi-tech-countries - Estonia, Israel, New-Zealand, South Korea and the UK.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__The article then goes on to show that there's some cooperation on the intelligence level between the US, the UK and Israel. This is:Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__    Irrelevant. The article has nothing to do with spying.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__    Misleading. Pick the US and two random countries, and you'll probably be able to show cooperation between their intelligence services.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__So, the article knowingly takes a story about scientific cooperation and distorts it into a spy story. This is bad journalism.Mar 30 07:36
schestowitz__[1] This is research done with the British tax payers money. I guess there is some oversight over it.Mar 30 07:36

schestowitz"tzafrir: the common way of farming brings to desertification. All the CO2 that are in the soil goes to the air cause are not sequestred (as in natural farming). Plus fertility goes away, plus there is sterilization of the soil (salt from agrochemical products doesn't leave bacteria act), plus climate change, plus... There are a lot of scientific article on that subject. Just stand on the "greenpeace" vs "monsanto" flag doesn't reallyApr 04 19:38

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-en.wikipedia.org | Carbon sequestration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [ http://ur1.ca/k3zqk ]Apr 04 19:38
schestowitz"Apr 04 19:38
schestowitzEnrico, [citation needed]. Please point to a way in which GMO products (a tag added to this message) make reduce carbon sequestration or whatever related argument. If you cut down forests and replace them with fields, you reduce the carbon sequestration, but this is unrelated to the method used for growing the croft there.Apr 04 19:38
schestowitzGround saltation is due to using too much fertalizers. Likewise if you use too much manure you may induce too high levels of nitrates and other types of potential contaminations.Apr 04 19:38
schestowitz"Apr 04 19:38
schestowitz"tzafrir, the point it is just that. We need to change our way of farming and not just change some dna traits or genes. That it is just a veil that hide the real problem or that makes even worse to deal with (long term GMO products just fail on what they promised, clear example are bt corn and roundup resistent soy). GMO products use for sure more energy (and so more CO2 produced) than standard selection or cross breeding (in situ).Apr 04 19:38
schestowitzNatural farming use compost, not manure, so there would be not nitrates at all."Apr 04 19:38
schestowitz"Apr 04 19:39
schestowitz@tzafrir I won't focus on why GMO companies have to prove the safety of GMO products to the consumers, not the other way around, or why GMO companies want legislation for both approve the use of GMO seeds and forbid people of knowing whether their food has GMO or not, or why pesticides required for using GMO seeds are so toxic there is a need of very careful handling, or when GMO seeds are used they will spread around no matter what it'Apr 04 19:39
schestowitzs done for preventing that and then there will be no choice about having GMO food or not.Apr 04 19:39
schestowitzI only would like to say this: if you think that depending of one company forever for something as important as food is a good business practice, then you might be interested in using proprietary software, I have heard that the total cost of ownership is lower than using Free Software:Apr 04 19:39
