I've wondered about this with children's books. Classics like Alice in Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows are still wildly popular. I can't believe nobody has been able to write anything better since those days. It must exist but I've never managed to find them in the library or know how to find them among the tidal wave of slop. Most of them are very similar and, to me, low quality fluff with no nuanced characters, no rich fantasy worlds, no serious human interactions. 80% of what I can find is just stories about kids playing in their house or dealing with some basic child problems like losing a toy. The other 20% is adult political issues shoe-horned into children's books. Why do authors crank out so much low-quality crap instead of masterpieces?

It wasn't a USB to RS232 converter was it? Those are notorious for the knock-offs filling the market and not working with the "real" driver.

So it hasn't yet decided if there's genocide or not?

People should just say what they actually mean instead of ambiguous words like genocide. Is the genocide limiting food aid with the aim of demoralizing the population into losing support for Hamas? Or is it directly killing people in the fighting? He could have just said that so his words mean something. Those actions might or might not be genocide but they might still be something worth criticizing.

People keep saying genocide but has it been established objectively? I seem to remember the ICJ deciding they weren't, but that was some time ago.

Human time is money in software, more analogous to mass in physical goods. So you should calculate the time savings for all the people using the app vs entering the code themselves.

Mass is a nonsense analogy that doesn't reveal anything useful.
