I think you make it sound as if that was good, but it was straight naive or irresponsible

It was a different time

Sure, in today’s world. That’s like saying it would be naive and irresponsible for me to go outside without a life preserver today despite an unforeseen catastrophic global flood drowning the lands 10 years from now. It was a different world, with different expectations and frameworks.

The GP is saying "I miss the days where I could easily exploit people" and the response was "I miss the days where we respected each other enough to not exploit each other". It wasn't naive or irresponsible, but reflective of a time with more trust, cooperation, and good intentions.

    I think this takes the crown as the least-charitable interpretation of a comment that I've ever seen on HN.

  Reminds me of a few years ago, when I accidentally exposed my Domoticz install to the internet without authentication. I've had missed something in my Nginx config with X-Forwarded-For headers. After about a week or something apparently a foreign visitor came by my install and decided to have some good fun. Turning my lights on/off at random times. It took me about 3 days to realize what have happened, but in the mean time he didn't just destroy my install and only mess with me. Which was really sweet, because nuking the system would be far easier than opening the webpage every night. That was a good and fun security lesson though and now I always check outside security with a mobile hotspot.

"There are villages on the countryside that are safe and friendly, everyone knows each other, people don't even lock their door." - "Man, those idiots are naive and irresponsible."

That's like saying it's naive and irresponsible to gooutside without locking your front door when you live in a tiny remote village with 40 other people you've known for your whole life.
