Somebody has to pay for it: Quanta magazine is financed by the Simons Foundation (Hedge Fund billionaire). Noema seems to be a pet project of Nicolas Berggruen (Hedge Fund billionaire). The name sounded familiar: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Berggruen#Berggruen_be...

I haven't heard of Jim Simons before, so I looked him up on Wikipedia. He sounds like quite a character. I, too, would stop wearing socks and fund a non-profit science magazine if I had a billion dollars.

He is the Simons of Chern–Simons theory.

I do not know any magazine worth reading in german. I'm getting Sueddeutsche Magazin but most of it is just boring.

Decades ago I enjoyed Spex, some writers are still around (Diederich Diedrichsen, Dietmar Dath).

Telepolis from Heise Verlag is somewhat boring but not so bad:

Do I miss anything?

Just wanted to say that your contributions to HN were missed the last few weeks. Please, start a blog or something. I mean you don't have to...but, yeah. Thanks.

Thanks for this, though you must be referring to someone else! I post infrequently and rarely compose full comments here on HN!

Hadn’t seen Noema before, thanks for the pointer - someone already mentioned nautilus, Aeon.co is quite good with a very diverse set of topics, and Hakai ( https://hakaimagazine.com/ ) has some very good environmental writing.

+1 for Hakai, they have a very good podcast too.

No, I'm referring to you! I'm the type of guy who can feel full off of 7 cashews, your infrequent and incomplete remarks are similar to those cashews.
