To "join" the EEA both sides/parties of it has to agree, so yes, members do have a say, it's beneficial (and should be) to both parties of the agreements.
For one this seems related to EU the umbrella organization, not Europe the continent, while I suppose the European Economic Area might be geographically limited to Europe the continent. Maybe something like the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) might be more applicative here.
Java and C# seem to be the best ways of making code-first OpenAPI based servers.
C# LINQ also seem to be the best compromise between ORM and raw SQL queries, although I never used it myself.
I have been severely disappointed in all similar solutions for Go at least and I imagine Rust does not have something better given it has a smaller community-base.
Python and NodeJS have some very neat solutions for this stuff too, but both are "slow" dynamic languages. I personally dislike python with a passion and NodeJS stuff is extremely community-driven and therefor often unreliable. Prisma (NodeJS ORM) for example just did a major overhaul and is now pushing a completely different API.
If you are making boring REST API to SQL Database it seems like Java and C# are the best options.
> "cashing out" on good brands a universally bad decision.
For the company yes, not for the executive bonuses.
It is quite notable how the long-lasting companies that are household names somehow managed to resist this urge. Most of them are private.
People need to compartmentalize things in order to make sense of the universe, but doing so for companies (and governments) is just counterproductive.
Whenever you think about a company to draw any good conclusions you always need to think about all the people who work there, from the factory worker to the executive.
I live in Sweden, but my company is not unionized (somewhat unusual). Non-unionized companies at least in tech tend to be _overtly_ better places to work than unionized ones simply because people have the _option_ to go to a unionized company. So the non-unionized companies have to make up for it with better work conditions, benefits and pay.
Even if you are not unionized you benefit from other people being unionized in your profession/area.
I was top 1000 for a while in the base-invasion mode of MGSV in the EU. That mode was basically a low-budget little tacked-on multiplayer that kept the core-gameplay and I spent hundreds of hours on it.
MGSV Metal Gear Online (the _other_ tacked-on multiplayer) was also great, but very unreliable netcode made it frustrating.
I wish someone would just take that game engine and make another good game on it. I _almost_ bought metal gear survive on the engine alone, that is how good it is.
The developers of the Zelda series always tried to make new games fit the previous one's lore.
The devs themselves put a ton of effort on making these games kinda fit with each other at the time they were making each new installment, it wasn't a retroactive thing. They just weren't super pedantic about it until the official timeline came out.

Looks like a combination of regulatory and business/operations made USA more attractive.
Yes, but I also think it will be trivially by-passable if you pass your output through another LLM. At least for text.
It might help catch students cheating, but not real spam-bot usage. As soon as platforms start checking for watermarks spambots will add anti-watermark passes.
When I was doing a really large refactor across the codebase I told Claude Code to explain how certain things worked currently and how I wanted things to look like after the migration and a plan on how to get there. Then I did several further clean sessions where I always started along the lines: "Using this plan {link} do X."
Works pretty well for "non-permanent" instructions (you don't want to put this info into your committed markdowns).
My main motivation was simply to save tokens, but it actually worked really well and improved speed as well.
