Wow, Buffet's letters are the most entertaining and awesome pieces of financial and business literature out there. It's such a stark departure from the sterile technical writing of most companies that I feel like he's speaking directly to m

Why do you care? I didn't think YCombinator was a very competitive company, and I wouldn't think you'd care about what the competition thinks.

I was under the impression that far fewer than 2/3rds of VC investments break even. I am more surprised that 1/3rd of them "work out the way you want them to." Anyone have more concrete statistics on general VC success rates?

I don't usually come to News.YC for the links, I come for the comments on the articles. Your idea would prevent News.YC comments on popular articles, so I disagree.

I'm not upset with the front page changing-- I think it's still just as awesome as before, and I'm sure Paul and the moderators are doing a great job at keeping the crap off. What I am worried about are these increasingly common AskYC posts

When the front page of hacker news is filled entirely with questions about hacker news and its community, will it still be worth coming here? This is obviously an exaggeration, but the number of reflective question-based Ask News.YC posts h

That would require you to sort each email based on urgency, and the only way to do that (effectively) is to open and read the email. That's the problem.
