Also, I would give a lot for effective software that actually helps with info overload.

tldr.io seems nice, anyone tried it?

I don't manage it, I barely cope.

I would probably look into transcranial stimulation and smart drugs if I had more gumption :)

What results did you get from it? I am currently reading the "Mechanical Problems" section.

Off-topic: way cool to see the name Antero Alli mentioned on HN! Which of his books have you read? I am currently reading Angel Tech and The Eight-Circuit Brain.

OK, so basically the difference between conscious and subconscious motivations.

There's a lot of good self-help material dealing with getting those better aligned. Tony Robbins comes to mind.

Can you elaborate on that?

You know, in a way he is not that wrong. Bad things often are necessary for good things to happen. Crime may not the best example, though. But a good example would be striving for excellence. People who come from the rock bottom are often insanely driven to reach the ultimate heights. People who are happy and mellow by default most often don't feel the need to do so. Kind of like how a grain of sand irritates an oyster into making a pearl.

Widlar's been gone 20 years, now he was a guy who packed 2000 years equivalent of wild heroic living

Never heard of him but now you got me curious. Do tell more.

Many tech guys on HN often ask: what use are business co-founders?

Superior domain knowledge would be one thing. If I'm going to team up with a business guy, I want him to be a top notch expert in his field.

There's a tendency for tech guys to discount domain knowledge, believing that it's just a matter of "hacking something out in a weekend, after all it's just a matter of shovelling data" (I used to fall into this trap myself - now I know the value of domain expertise).

I question how effective the Ramit Sethi tactics would be here in Sweden. Has anyone here tried and gotten a raise?,

In part 1, Ramit mentioned an e-book about customer retention. Do you know the name of it?

I live in Sweden. When I was an employee I didn't get any sun on me during a significant chunk of the year.

I run my own business these days.
