"I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

My personal recipe is: add “potential criminal” to any human entity mentioned in a formula. Thus, “I have nothing to hide from the FBI” should be more correctly formulated as “I have nothing to hide from potential criminals working in the FBI”.


Then shouldn't this be "I (a potential criminal) have nothing to hide from potential criminals working in the FBI”.


I'd like to save this quote. However Hackernews provides not much functionality in-platform to do so.

Although I will contend the quote needs to be amended, since this doesn't apply to agents whose actions and intentions are questionable, and I would prefer they are not able to hide them.


If you click the timestamp (it's a link) you should be able to "favorite" the comment.


The link I provided is the original source, if you want to bookmark that.

You can also click on the timestamp of a HN comment and get the link just to that, if you prefer to bookmark that.

Or there's cut and paste. You have lots of options, it doesn't need to be built in to every web site.

Regarding your suggested amendments, sorry, I have no control over what Martin's daughter says.


Well, you can add it to your favorite comments. Click the on the date on the post and then click on favorite.
