That seems super useful, as my dock is overflowing with too many apps, which I all use, just at different times for very different scenarios... like for example when producing and working on videos I use FinalCutPro, Motion and Compressor, but these three take up space when I'm in a totally different context like coding. But I don't want to remove them from the dock when not used; because if I do, I seem to forget that I have them or would need to add them back later. So this solves that perfectly!

Former W.R. Grace employee: Molecular Sieve Desiccant Beads (also manufactured by W.R.Grace) are even more absorbent than regular silica gel. It's found in most double-pane windows inside the metal track between both panes; slowly absorbing any moisture over many years to keep them from fogging/going 'blind'.
You can use MS to dry flowers in record time... and use it to quickly heat up baby food in a pinch if needed... just put a smaller container of food in a bigger pod filled with MS and pour water of the MS... it's ultra-rapid absorption of water creates heat as a byproduct.
Another nuisance which really gets on my nerves is when sites specifically prevent me from pasting, typically fields where you need to put a bank account or routing number. Copy and pasting that info is WAY more accurate and error-proof than glancing at one screen and re-typing it in another. I then temporarily disable Javascript in the developer menu and re-enabled it afterwards, but that still sometimes causes issues down the line, as now the site "thinks" there isn't a value in the field because they didn't notice any typing events, etc..

It doesn't look like that's what's happening. This is only an issue because Dropbox isn't trying to be a file sync application any more, and is instead trying to be a userspace network filesystem driver.
Exactly that! Compare the simplicity from the original Dropbox app to the behemoth of what it is now...

This was the final straw which prompted me to move off Dropbox. Initially, dropbox was wonderful, super simple and did ONE thing amazingly well. Then... the thing morphed into a monster with all sorts of "corporate america" features which I never cared for. Fine, they need to make money, I get it. Besides storing and syncing files, the dropbox app on iOS was amazing to take quick scans of receipts on the phone and sync them to the Mac and auto-process them there (via the receipts.app; great 3rd party app). Anyway, in 2023, iCloud Drive with the native Files.app on iOS does the same thing for me. Just as good, just as reliable. For free, without the bulky corporate app stuff.

If you talk to HR employees and ask them whether they feel like an employee or rather as "the employer"... based on my own findings most will tell you that they feel like the employer; even though they're just employees too.
moonlighter commented on Ask HN: Should a German founder with a green card set up a holding company? · Posted by u/ck_one
Can you put your business into a holding company later on, or does it have to be done before you launch?
In the US you can start an LLC "a" and later on a Holding LLC "b" and make "b" the owner of "a", so that "b" is the parent (and holding company) of "a". It's really just about how ownership is structured, and it can be done later on.
moonlighter commented on Ask HN: Is anyone using Fastmail for their business? · Posted by u/glukkanta
Does their mobile app support push email, rather than polling?
They also support native Apple iOS push notifications (not just for new mail, but also edits/deletes IIRC), so their integration with Apple's native iOS mail app is outstanding. Been using FastMail that way for years and it's been working flawlessly. About the only time I use the Fastmail app is when I want to reply to an email sent to a catch-all address and reply from that address (haven't found a way to do that from the native Apple mail app).
