I don't know why you're getting downvoted for this. It's 100% correct advice. The person you're replying to is a sysadmin so they are probably okay in this situation but cloning access cards without permission would be a serious breach no matter how well intentioned or how easy.
I countered the statement and also getting down voted. The key is to train your brain to like down votes just as much as up votes. When the number is just a number not attached to dopamine then you are free.
The votes are not there for your benefit - they're there to make good/useful/valuable comments rise to the top, and bad/low-value/spam ones fall to the bottom.
Nontheless the point about learning to accept downvotes is valid because "why was I downvoted?"-crybaby posts are annoying, useless and tend to also get downvoted.
My comments got more than 200 downvotes and ban in discussion about physics about decade ago, but I nailed the problem. Also, I receive downvotes from Russian imperialists at constant rate just talking about history of Russia and Ukraine, because real history of Russian Federation/Russian Empire is well guarded secret in Russia.
If coercion was going to ever rule the world someone would have accomplished it fully already as many have tried. Yet here we are still free to say nearly whatever the fuck we want in the free world thankfully.
Hes getting downwoted because this site is called hacker news. Dont be such a corpo chicken. I am pretty sure people are aware of legality of similar actions and dont need this mentoring.
