It becomes censorship when a moderator removes a comment or discussion based purely on personal beliefs and disagreements. Moderation should be about removing the trolls, not what it has become, which is censorship. It feels like many peopl

99% of the new companies I see on HN and elsewhere have either no business plan or a company that will most likely fail. Randomly investing in these companies without any actual effort to mitigate risk, will result in throwing most of your
