Ask HN: What blogs/sources do you read?

I am developing a news personalization service (won't mention the name, it's not important) which currently scans about 300 sources: tech, security, science.

I would like to query the collective wisdom of the HN community. What blogs or sites do you find insightful? interesting? original?

Thank you.

Thank you. The problem with HN-like sites is that they are nearly impossible to analyze, since they function more like crowdsourced link aggregators rather than original sources.

An example of a "good" (in my opinion) source is Sean Carroll's blog:

"News" is awfully broad. Nevertheless...

For me it means:
