At the risk of the above comment being edited and making this stop working, here's an alternative lazy version:

    curl https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42291112 | grep 'QSBSb[^<]\+' -o | base64 --decode

The lazy version is more targeted for the mobile users browsing by for the first ~24 hours not wanting to try to copy the data or find a way to run commands.

For the desktop-ers, future travellers, or just generally private/skeptical mobile users among us I'd recommend this method https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42291434 for the private long lasting lazy experience (no external tools necessary, but you do need to perform a manual copy into your URL bar).
