- HN

- Lobste.rs

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not sure why it's downvoted. That was my first thought too. There are tons of educational videos, lectures and inspiring interviews. If you keep watching this kind of stuff recommendations also get quite reasonable.

Yeah but it's like saying "the Web". You should mention some channels, playlists, etc. at the very least. =)

Fair enough. There was some recent thread about it lately but I can't find it at the moment. Here's an older one:
