Why is Facebook missing from the list of ways to share a page in Safari?  That option used to exist before the latest update.  When I'm directed to the extensions box Facebook is not there.

Someone is offering to pay me in a sort of sugar daddy/sugar baby arrangement. They want to make online deposits to me, and they're asking me for my online banking username and password. Is that information alone enough for them to be able to take my money out of my account, or am I safe? How to update textbox in form1 from form2? Why is Lamarck's evolutionary theory considered incorrect? Many sources postulate without much argumentation that Lamarck's evolutionary theory is "obviously incorrect". A classic example provided in such sources is the one with giraffes, in which Lamarck argued that the necks of these animals became long as a result of continually stretching to reach high foliage. This mechanism for adaptive change in response to the environment is considered wrong.  Now the counterargument to Lamarck's ideas comprises modern findings in genetics. So it is stated that organisms pass down traits through predetermined genetic information, not based on environmental adaptations during their lifetime. Furthermore, genetic research shows that living organisms cannot alter their genetic material as needed.   Doesn't the latter contradict the evolutionary theory itself, which states that nature (i.e. environment) shapes species through natural selection in the environmental milieu? If it is not the environmental/natural factor that is responsible for genetic evolution, then what is? If genetic material were to be unchangeable, then how would adaptation to the environment and consequent evolutionary change would ever be possible? The genotype (following this logic) would remain the same. And lastly, maybe giraffes do not develop long necks at such a rapid pace (as Lamarck probably thought) by simply stretching their necks in one generation; however, what, if not neck stretching, is responsible for their consistently longer necks throughout thousands or millions of years? Hadn't the environment gradually shaped their genotype? Similarly, if I run more often, maybe my children will not become more fit, but isn't it just a matter of time (thousands of years) that if all of us consistently run a lot, then our offspring will eventually become more fit? Wouldn't our voluntary efforts eventually enhance our genetics? I do not see any problem with Lamarck's logic at all, except probably the time frame. How to install Android Studio on Ubuntu? Simple way to monitor a multiple URLDownloadSubmit calls? Every time I call \section{**Section Name**}, a number appears to the left of the name of the section.  How do I hide this number? Why does my image have space underneath? biblatex, authoryear style: In-text citations display first name initials for certain bibliography entries Reducing voltage with resistors I have been looking around for an easy way to convert 12V to 5V. I have seen some people saying that a simple resistor is all that is needed.  $$ Volts = Ohms \cdot Amps $$ $$ Amps  = \frac{Volts}{Ohms} $$ $$Ohms  = \frac{Volts}{Amps}$$  So applying a resistor will diminish the voltage of the circuit. That should mean that an appropriately sized resistor could simply be placed in the path of a 12V circuit, converting it to 5v.   If this is the case how would one reduce amps? Would series vs parallel make a difference in this area?   I have seen designs that include a regulator IC and some capacitors, but if a simple resistor/fuse/diode setup will do the trick, I would really prefer that. I want to see all URLs that for packages that would be downloaded for apt install &lt;pkg&gt; without actually installing the package.  Normally, the URLs can be extracted from the screen output after installing the package (as above).  An example of a URL I want to list:    Is it only possible to get such list of URLs beforehand by looking through all the apt's package source lists? $a+b+c = 3$, prove that :$a\sqrt{a+3}+b\sqrt{b+3}+c\sqrt{c+3} \geq 6$ $a, b,c $ are positive real numbers such that $a+b+c = 3$, prove that :$a\sqrt{a+3}+b\sqrt{b+3}+c\sqrt{c+3} \geq 6$  Any ideas ? I was surprised to discover my dictionary had this entry for dilemma:     a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, esp. equally undesirable ones   The notion of dilemma meaning two or more flies against what I was taught about the word. The very idea of a  is specifically based on the number two.  Has my dictionary merely updated its definition to encapsulate the many people who use dilemma for more than two equal choices? Or was someone in my youth being unnecessarily pedantic? Order of nested random effects in lme4 I just fit a model in lme4, and I'm wondering what the heck I fit...  I have individuals id, and each is measured pass/fail on items that can be described using two factors, f1 and f2. My theory says that id and f2 can interact. So I want to compare these models:  # f2 doesn't matter m1 &lt;- lmer(pass ~ f1 + (1|id), family="binomial")  # f2 is a fixed effect, doesn't interact with individuals m2 &lt;- lmer(pass ~ f1 + f2 + (1|id), family="binomial")  # f2 is a nested random effect, interacting with individuals m3 &lt;- lmer(pass ~ f1 + (1|f2/id), family="binomial")   First, am I right that there's a random effect of each level of f2, and each individual's level of f2 is partially pooled, depending on the number of observations for that individual?  Second, does it make sense to fit f2 as a fixed effect with random individuals nested within each level of f2? How does one write that?  Third, what's this, with f2 and id reversed in the formula? I typed it by accident, but now I want to understand it.  m3weird &lt;- lmer(pass ~ f1 + (1|id/f2), family="binomial") I am not asking for a solution to speed it up, i simply want to know how long it should take!  I would also like a way to speed it up but not something technical, im new to Blender! What is the difference between a synchronized method and synchronized block in Java? Let $a=p_1^{x_1}p_2^{x_2}\cdots\cdot p_q^{x_q}$ and $b=p_1^{y_1}p_2^{y_2}\cdots p_r^{x_r}$ ,   say — Since gcd(a,b) is the largest common divisor of a and b and is divisible by any other common divisor of the two,   GCD$(a,b)=p_1^{\min(x_1,y_1)}p_2^{\min (x_2,y_2)} \cdots p_q^{\min (x_q,y_q)}$  LCM$(a,b)= p_1^{\max(x_1,y_1)}p_2^{\max(x_2,y_2)}\cdots p_r^{\max (x_r,y_r)}$  I understand GCD(a,b) has to divide both $a,b$. Therefore the exponent of any prime factor $p_i$ in GCD has to be in both $a,b$  — therefore $p_i^{\min(x_i, y_i)}$. But I'm muddled and anxious. Why does $\min$ appear in GREATEST common divisor? Why does $\max$ appear in LOWEST common multiple?
