Ask HN: What Hacker News comments have you bookmarked?

You can favourite comments on HN and the lists are public so you can browse others favourites. This is a little known feature but I like it. For an example here are my favourite comments:

https://news.ycombinator.com/favorites?id=weinzierl&comments...

I didn't put a lot of thought in it, I just favourite stuff I might want to reconsider later. One example I still like is:

>You can hide from your your boss, your wife, or even your mother, but you can’t hide from Facebook.

Browsing others pages can be quite insightful for what they find notable. Not everyone uses this feature, so not everyone has favourites and it takes a little digging to find good ones. For example here are Thomas Ptaceks:

Just to expand on favourites:

Favouriting a comment is a public bookmark, without boost

Liking / upvoting a comment is a private bookmark with boost.

Favouriting a comment auto upvotes the comment so it does give it a boost.

I cannot find the comment favorite button for the life of me. Is it unlocked at x karma, or am I missing something?

You click on the comment's time stamp to go to the comment detail view. There will be among others a favorite button.

If you click the timestamp does it show up next to the flag link?

This is amazing. I am always finding nuggets of wisdom and didn't know of a good way to store them. I made an account just for this.
