Ask HN: What else do you read as regularly as Hacker News?
- ninjakeyboard 11y agoThis is pretty much my go-to source of curated media. Maybe my facebook feed for funny things.
- aram 11y agoSame here. Since it combines most of my areas of interest, I don't need to use other sources. If I'm not active on HN for some time, I check out Lobste.rs to keep up. They have way less members and posts, so hot news stay longer on the front page. For funny things I go to regular Reddit front page.
- efz1005 11y agoI go to Quora whenever they send me a Digest (every 2-4 days), and I'm all day on Twitter.
- jankins 11y agoYeah I'll recommend the quota email digests too. They do a great job, however those are curated. I'm not on it nearly as often as HN but it's a different category.

- captn3m0 11y agoTwitter and Reddit. Unsubscribing from all default subreddits is what got me addicted.
- Jasamba 11y agoMIT Technology Review, and interesting articles from my Facebook feed.
- noer 11y agoTwitter, the NY Times, Growth Hackers for marketing/product stuff (though the content there is pretty thin at times). If I'm bored & away from a computer I use the News App on iOS. I use newsblur as an RSS reader and I rarely update what I follow, but from there it's mostly sports blogs.

- bjelkeman-again 11y agoFor world context: The Economist For industry context: O'Reilly Radar A national newspaper for headlines. The rest is hobby related: bass guitar, 3D printing etc.
- charlieegan3 11y agohttps://lobste.rs/ https://lobste.rs/ _sometimes_ gets things before HN. I also follow Product Hunt but I don't find either are as consistently high in quality has HN. Last year I made http://serializer.io/ http://serializer.io/ that aggregates items linearly from all 3 (and some others) on a single page.
- Klathmon 11y agoid love to try out lobste.rs but i cant seem to get an invite, and commenting is one of the biggest parts of these kinds of sites to me.
- charlieegan3 11y agoYeah I'm in the same situtation. Just haven't come across someone that's actually a user.
- ck2 11y agoHN thread on lobste.rs https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4452384 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4452384 Invites are supposedly via irc chat https://lobste.rs/chat https://lobste.rs/chat
- charlieegan3 11y ago> New contributors are always welcome on Lobsters, but pestering other members in the channel for invites is not acceptable. If you are the author or otherwise involved with a story that was submitted to the site, ask and someone will invite you. Alternately, offer some good links or thoughts on a story and someone will likely invite you so can post them. Seems like you'd usually need some kind of reason/action to get into the community that first time.

- tedsanders 11y agoThere's so much good content out on the internet, and sadly, we are wildly ignorant of almost all of it. Discovery is still such a hard problem. Here's a list of the blogs, podcasts, and websites that I read. Links available at http://www.tedsanders.com/my-information-diet/ http://www.tedsanders.com/my-information-diet/ Blogs Economics blogs: •Marginal Revolution, The Money Illusion, The Incidental Economist, The Growth Economics Blog, Conversable Economist, Overcoming Bias, Vox: Matthew Yglesias, Peter Diamandis, EconLog: Library Of Economics And Liberty Physics/math blogs: •Condensed concepts, Shtetl-Optimized, Sean Carroll’s Preposterous Universe, Prosperous Physicist, nanoscale views, Do the Math, Strong Correlations Statistics blogs: •Andrew Gelman’s Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science, sometimes i’m wrong, Measure of Doubt (dead) Other blogs: •Slate Star Codex, Vox: Ezra Klein, The GiveWell Blog, Ramez Naam, Conor Friedersdorf, Andart II, Andrew McAfee’s Blog—The Business Impact of IT, Ben Casnocha, Gwern, How To Write Badly Well (dead), Lithoguru, Mike Bostock, DIYPS, Study Hacks Blog, The Rationalist Conspiracy, what if?, Sibylla Bostoniensis Comics: •xkcd, Existential Comics Other websites: •HN, Ars Technica, Chessbase, Vox, Reddit, YouTube Podcasts: •Radiolab, Freakonomics Radio, Goggles Optional, Supreme Podcast, Comedy Bang Bang, EconTalk, Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History, Welcome to Night Vale, WTF with Marc Maron, StarTalk Radio Show with Neil Degrasse Tyson, Intelligence Squared (US), Fareed Zakaria GPS, a16z, Invisibilia, Serial
- officialchicken 11y agoarchdaily.com, arxiv.org/math, Supreme Court landmark decisions, random pubmed.com articles, or just a plain old book.
- HenryTheHorse 11y agoMetafilter. (Hands down one of the best forums with quality conversations.) Other than that, the usual suspects: Reddit, Vox, Quartz, WaPo, New Yorker, The Atlantic and NYT.
- wanda 11y agoSlashdot SomethingAwful Front-end Front Sublevel Designer News
- ljoshua 11y agoSide question: does anyone know of a browser extension or anything that would hide/gray out HN headlines that I've already seen on previous visits so I know only what stories are actually new on the front page? Would make scanning quicker.
- r3bl 11y agoAccessing HN with Firefox (if your web history is turned on) does exactly that[1]. No extension is necessary. The same is true for every other browser since the CSS file it clearly says: a:link { color:#000000; text-decoration:none; } a:visited { color:#828282; text-decoration:none; } [1] http://i.imgur.com/CqKW1yK.png http://i.imgur.com/CqKW1yK.png
- ljoshua 11y agoSorry, didn't mean just visited links. I want unvisited (but seen) links to be treated differently. Example: I visit once, scan 30 links, click 2, and leave. Come back 2 hours later, there are 5 new links, 5 have dropped off, and my attention is drawn to just the five new links, regardless of whether I visited the other 25 or not.

- applecore 11y agoBooks. I make sure to allocate at least twice as much time to reading literature as I do reading online.
- spoiledtechie 11y agoDrudgereport.com - its the best news aggregator on the web about politics hands down and I am fascinated by politics.
- yodon 11y agoDrudge is a great aggregator but my goodness it has strong political biases. I used to pair Salon.com visits with drudge to get contrasting spins, but a year or two ago Salon went all link-baity fluff. For a while qz.com was amazing until they re-designed their home page and removed 50 IQ points from the content (ditto for fivethirtyeight.com). At this point my news sources are mainly reduced to the great-but-comically-biased drudge and the once-great-now-dumbed-down-but-still-analytically-unbiased fivethirtyeight.com If anyone knows of a good US-moderate or left of US-center news aggregator that acts like its readers are intelligent, I'm all ears (I also like right of US-center news but I get plenty of that from drudge)
- randomname2 11y ago> US-moderate or left of US-center news aggregator that acts like its readers are intelligent Other than perhaps on Twitter it's hard to find such a thing. Most news outlets are very biased, low-brow and clickbaitey these days, it's hard to be profitable otherwise. That being said, I'd personally categorize them as follows: "Pro-Establisment" left of US center: NYT, Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Atlantic, The Economist, BBC, New Yorker, Politico Very left-wing: The Guardian, Huffington Post, BuzzFeed "Establishment" moderate/right of US center: WSJ Very right wing: Drudge, Fox News Libertarian: Reason.com Paranoid: RT, Zerohedge Comically-biased, extreme right wing: Breitbart, Blaze, Daily Mail Comically-biased, extreme left wing: Vox, Vice.com, Slate, Salon, Gawker
- spoiledtechie 11y agoExtreme right wing? Breitbart nor Blaze seem to be extreme. I think Daily Mail is a very good aggregator of political news, as I am not too sure about the rest of the news they present.

- CM30 11y agoReddit. Well, certain subreddits anyway. Mostly gaming ones. Various gaming sites, most of which aren't relevant to people here (GoNintendo, Nintendo Life, Gamnesia, etc). Many, many different forums. Some tech related, some gaming related, some just about anything and everything. At the moment, mostly my secondary Wario Forums site, as well as The Admin Zone and a few others). CSS Tricks. Smashing Magazine (and a few other web development news sites like Sitepoint and A List Apart). So quite a few things really.
- globalgoat 11y agoPrivate Eye (subscriber to the print version), The Guardian (online, although am losing interest as it's becoming increasingly click bait as it tries to stop its massive financial losses, for many years I was a print subscriber), The Register (online), books (kindle and print)

Also, I stalk a few people on various forums because I really like their way of thinking or expertise. If you say something clever, I'm going to go through your post history. On top of that, some youtube channels, and about 400 blogs of individuals.
