#43Nothing else comes close tbh.
I probably lack some worthwhile cultural hinterland due to HN's liberal but sciencey remit. Arts & Letters Daily would be a good addition.
But there's nothing that really feels of comparable value for me personally and I've tried many of the options that are suggested here and have been before in these kinds of threads.

#44For casual browsing and deeper reads I find myself going here: https://marginalrevolution.com/ https://restofworld.org/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ https://pudding.cool/ https://www.nytimes.com/timeswire
Scrolling through that pudding site, right away I notice the tell tale sign of midwit misconception.
- a story makes claims about women in the news, without any controls or comparison to men (i.e. it's useless)
- a story presents one of those toy economic models about random trades between people, not realizing they are complete nonsense with zero predictive power
This is just what I notice on a first visit. It's extremely well produced nonsense.

#45HN should really have automated threads like this once every year or so.
Next to ask | show | jobs, there could be a link to a list of permanent threads.
I ran a forum that pinned a link collection. They need maintenance and they’re not always things that everyone agrees on. Sporadic threads where everyone posts are a lot easier to interpret and don’t require maintenance.

#47Marginalrevolution is a good blog, covering current affairs, economics, finance and technology issues. One of the posters, Tyler Cowen, is great at aggregating and summarising information and it’s a combination of links and quite short thought pieces that get posted daily. https://marginalrevolution.com/ Matt Levine writes a great daily newsletter, Money Stuff. Often there is a topic in finance that I don’t really un…
The comments section on marginalrevolution is complete drek, though. I do appreciate the stories, but have to be better at avoiding the comments.

#48Ars Technica, I've been there since 2002 and I pay for premium most of the time.
The commenters on Ars hate Elon Musk but love SpaceX. The conflict can be "interesting" at times.

Found out about the site yesterday and would love to get an invite if you have one to spare (email is in my profile) !
Unfortunately I don't since I got heavily downvoted for posting a Crypto Tutorial I made. It wasn't scam or anything, just a func little tutorial on how to create your own crypto coin.
