Not to sound luddite, but I hope it won't have changed much. Same for Hacker News. IMHO, it's perfect as is.
EDIT: the first time around, I couldn't read the linked article, as the server was HN'ed. Now, having read the article, I wholeheartedly agree. I do hope, that if YC scales much further, it will expand to Europe. I feel I shouldn't have to move to the valley to create a successful startup. For instance, my hometown is a sister city to Palo Alto, surely there's some opportunity to share the love.

Not to come across as a downer; but there is nothing to say that you can't create a successful startup where you're at. You simply cannot be part of the Y Combinator program.

pg's personal time may face a law of diminishing returns, but the alumni network will scale up in a comparative way. At least, in the 3 year timeframe discussed here.

Now I'm getting binary gibberish that doesn't seem to be any encoding I can divine? Going straight to http://areallybadidea.com/ has it on the front page, for now.
