It won't be a reliable connection because the car moves around. Stuff like trees, tall building, bridges and tunnels will disrupt the signal. So for cars, a ground based cellular connection will work more reliable. Antenna alignment co

I have no experience in rocket science, but can anyone here explain why it's so difficult to reach the Kármán line? What else besides power/weight ratio is required to achieve something like this?

Not an expert, but I'd expect it to be less loud than a helicopter (because no turbine engine). But how often do helicopters land near your house? Sounds more like a case of NIMBY.

What's wrong with xdebug? Sure, xdebug requires a graphical frontend to be practical (I use phpstorm), but so does GDB. Debugging with xdebug has been a really good experience for me. Much better than python or even GDB for C code.

I guess that I was trying to say is: don't assume that people have credit cards. In many countries credit cards are uncommon.

I confused styled components with JSS. JSS is a library used by popular UX libraries, most notably Material-UI. The problem is that JSS injects the CSS dynamically at runtime. There seems to be no real solution to extract the CSS into a .cs

It can't, that is what preloading is for. Your browsers comes preloaded with a list of all sites that have requested HSTS preload, so your browser will use HTTPS even on the first visit. This is why preloading on all subdomains is pote

It is always quite a job to maintain CSP. And it's really easy to break something with CSP. This is why loads of devs usually throw in the towel and disable CSP or use a unsafe-line. Basically like trying to solve a hard CSS problem an
