To be fair to the grand parent, the International Telecommunications Union is a specialized agency of the UN and actively promoting IPv6: https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/ipv6/Pages/default.aspx

The Czech government has announced it’ll stop offering its services via IPv4 in June 2032.

Just used it to automate some reporting today. Claude Code worked pretty well though sometimes I had to point it to Typst docs to understand what I wanted.

Deutsche Welle is not funded by the “Rudfunkbeitrag” but part of the federal budgetz

> Is it harder than implied to make that declaration?

It involves going in person to a court or to a notary public. Pretty high friction which, I believe, is largely intentional.

For 8% off my tax bill, that feels like a small obstacle.

Yes, but you'll usually have to make an appointment for that and especially in larger cities or communities this might take quite a time. So, yeah, 8% on the hand, waiting for weeks for an appointment on the other hand...

There's more friction than needed...

There’s been a lot of progress (Temporal, URL, TextDecoder, Base64 encoding, etc.) but there are still gaps.

Math.clamp is a big one (it’s a TC39 proposal). I’d also love to have the stats functions that Python has (geometric mean, median, etc.).

On the more ambitious end: CSV reading/writing and IPv4/IPv6 manipulation.

Deno's standard libary has nice CSV parsing/serializing, and you can use it in any environment.

Most European countries (except France and the UK) are not interested in projecting power outside of a fairly narrow geographic area (mostly the European continent and adjacent seas).

These “military starlinks” will be much smaller systems than actual Starlink. The German one plans for 100 satellites.

I'm betting on every single implementation costing $10B minimum

Most MRIs vent their helium in an emergency shutdown. https://medprotech.de/en/what-is-an-mri-quench/

From the OECD report you cited:

> In Germany, the tax wedge for the average single worker decreased by 5 percentage points from 52.9% to 47.9% between 2000 and 2024. During the same period, the average tax wedge across the OECD decreased by 1.3 percentage points from 36.2% to 34.9%.

Sounds like Germany is getting better.

Yes the share of electricity produced by coal plants is going down: https://ember-energy.org/countries-and-regions/china/

So it appears they’re building more renewable capacity than coal capacity.

Your graph shows only increasing emissions from coal.

by the way also it shows increasing CO2 emissions from solar and wind. it doesn't make any sense

Look at the graph labelled “ Share of generation (%)” to see the (relative) decline of coal.
