OP here, did not know of the existence of “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences”! I agree, that's a whole other level.

Have you tried templates?

As another commenter mentions, the mmdc tool takes care of this. I should have mentioned that in the blog post.

Partially down for me

Hey HN,

I've been getting very positive responses on this short essay / thought experiment on privacy. Very curious what the HN crowd thinks.

I'm Dutch and in The Netherlands WhatsApp is ubiquitous, it's hard to live without it. I live in Switzerland, and here it's similar (although not as bad).

It disgusts me how FB/WA seem to keep pushing the limit on what they collect on us, but until now I didn't think it was viable to convince my friends and family to move to another platform.

Now I think there are many platforms that offer better guarantees and that work according to healthier incentives than WhatsApp. This essay was to help convince my friends of this.

Hey HN,

I've been trying to convince my friends to use Signal and in the process I've done some writing to figure out exactly what I believe. This analogy has been the result.
