Reproductive cloning, whats ur opinion?
Depends on to what extent it is used and how the population is distributed. Cloning offers a route to rapid population growth/recovery.

Arithmetic and Roman Numerals
They had a couple of different systems they turned to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numerals#Large_numbers

Nuclear energy vs. renewable energy
At least with a Sub I'd say it's fairly sluggish about accelerating. You can't demand too much from your steam or reactor in too short a time.

Automatic sensors on vehicles not yet safe ?
To some extent everything can be fooled by optical illusions, though one could make the case that adequate testing is needed to ensure a reasonable level of performance. Not sure who or what should determine that level though.

Ozone layer hole a pole shift ?
The atmosphere under the geomagnetic poles isn't as protected as the rest. CFC's were still ultimately causing the problem though.

The scientific method and jigsaws.
Think makes more sense to evaluate based on the time and the resources each method takes. You don't want to spend forever on something the computer can brute-force for you. Password cracking for example.

the sun explosion in 5 billion years
I think it is supposed to count as it is itself using the sunlight to remain stationary. Had a thought that you could shield the sun, bringing the heliosphere in and perhaps truly sail via the passing interstellar medium. I've never seen analysis for that one though.

Resettling Hong Kong
People, on average, earn more where it costs more to live. This doesn't necessarily mean they're any more industrious though. In reality I think this would just reduce the available supply, rather than cut into the Airbnb or real-estate speculation culture.

Water on the red planet
Probably is radioactive dust on/in the surface ice but underground water should be okay. I'm thinking that as it is probably saltwater, we'll remove any contaminants at the same time as we are desalinating.

Explaining pressure exchange
Possibly supposed to show pressure equalizing. A pressure exchanger is a real thing although that doesn't seem a very good example.

Heaven - Rebirth as a Dog or Cat
They or I would then reincarnate. Is suffering not part of existence until reaching Nirvana? Not sure about Hinduism, but there are realms in Buddhism that might be said to be what the Christian faith considers as Heaven and Hell. Perhaps Christianity is simply mistaken about their nature. Who can say?

Heaven - Rebirth as a Dog or Cat
All my pets are expected to work defending the home from those reincarnated as vermin and must come running when called, no exceptions.

the sun explosion in 5 billion years
How do you mean?

the sun explosion in 5 billion years
Be via gravity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_engine#Class_A_(Shkadov_thruster) The alternative Caplan thruster, would cost some of your hydrogen and mass, but you would be headed to 'fill-up' and need to lose some byproducts anyways(if the size is to be maintained).

the sun explosion in 5 billion years
Yeah this would definitely be more K2 Civilization type stuff. I'd dread to see the math you would have to do to figure out how to do it safely, not to mention when your civilization finally arrived somewhere.
-
the sun explosion in 5 billion years
For a Stellar engine, you would use a portion of a star's own energy to do so. Basic ideas are to either use the mother of all solar sails or deliberately caused mass ejections. Would be slow though which might still pose a problem.

the sun explosion in 5 billion years
Could in theory move it elsewhere and supply it with gas giants and material from other stars. Personally I suspect it'll become more a matter of how economic man-made Fusion reactors end up being though.
-
the sun explosion in 5 billion years
In theory. There is the Star Lifting concept along these lines. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_lifting Isaac Arthur did a good video on it.

Rights & Permissions : what to do if they do not respond?
Yes, something like wordpress though naturally you should search for a website builder or template that has what you are looking for. By the last sentence I mean that you can replicate how a site looks in the browser. What matters is that the code is mostly your own work or code you've obtained legitimately. Good that you're not planning to copy pictures. The main problem with simply copying code is that it may not behave the same. Better to only copy what you need and then know for certain how your website will behave.

Rights & Permissions : what to do if they do not respond?
Strictly speaking, yes. It is copyrighted but pretty rare a case is made over reuse. What normally gets people into trouble/caught is hotlinking(linking to someone else's files) and stealing images, however. I'd recommend using one of the free website builder(or similar tools) that exist instead if you can. It is perfectly legal to replicate the appearance of a site you're interested in.

How Trump Could Steal The Election
Yeah, he's been kicking butt. Definitely what the country needs and the world wants to see right now.
-
Are the regular expressions same?
I want to say it should be: (bba)* ∩ (aab)* Just to be clear I'm assuming by 'U' you mean Union and by '*' negation.

The Official JOKES SECTION :)

Has anyone
*Tucks Universe back into pocket* Balloon example is all good until someone asks you about those dots expanding or us colliding with Andromeda, lol.

Has anyone
@Airbrush Not sure if this is the best example, but might imagine the Universe as a set of reverse Matryoshka dolls, with larger dolls nested within smaller dolls. The volume each doll contains increases rapidly, but internally.
