It's not. The news is the usage of fiberoptics to do the measurement, and prove the effects of tillage scientifically. The title manages to both confuse tillage with plowing, and bury the lede.
NYT is in favor of Israel. They'll whitewash any president who bombs middle-eastern countries. You do that by sanely discussing what's obviously horrendous war crimes, and by making "both sides" arguments.
It would almost make more sense if it were about supporting Israel. The reality is that the NYT and other outlets frequently behave this way across a wide spectrum of issues, foreign and domestic. They cut Trump an utterly astonishing amount of slack, much more than they would ever grant to any other politician.
There are a couple of references below to start with, but if you do a search on Trump sanewashing you'll be overwhelmed with them.

Wasn't expecting this kind of political comedy on HN but thanks for the laugh. We talking about the same guy who got politically slandered straight faced for years for a sleazy joke while playing a character on a fictional TV show where actors playing parody and mythical character fake jump on each other from cages and ladders.
The media should be asking about Epstein every time they have a chance, but it doesn't happen, because the news makes it's money through audience capture via FOMO, and you do that by always moving to the latest thing that happened, doesn't matter how irrelevant.
This is basically why I buy the tech dip. When you pay for software, you pay for infrastructure, expertise, QA, consumer relations, having staff on call, etc. It was always possible to replace enterprise software by 2 guys coding a product in 6 months, but you still need everything around the code before serious clients will want to work with you, and at that point you're a regular software company. All these vibe coded products are one untested push away from getting dropped.
You know what's funny, less than a week ago I signed up for Basecamp.
Could I have asked Codex/Claude to whip me up a Basecamp clone with the exact features I want?
Of course. Do I want to deal with managing that codebase, even with AI? No.
The problem has been solved and the $15/mo. is well worth the time I will save not having to deal with managing that codebase and can instead focus my attention on things that bring in revenue.
What's surprising is how nonchalantly people like you suggest victims should just surrender and leave. Exactly the same thing was told to Ukrainians after the invasion. The fucking audacity you people have is staggering.
Yes, you are basically encouraging those affected to stay where they are, effectively to just die where they are. You are among the same people who asked the Jews during the Holocaust to stay where they were, to not leave the country, effectively leading to their mass murder.
Yes, one stardust's inherited company gets bailed out by their dad's friend, the other loses their minimum wage job, slips on a sidewalk, and has their life ruined by medical debt. Ah, the wonders of the universe.
