I read a bunch of different tech sites, but it my opinion, the most relevant stuff is on HN. It basically aggregates all the best stuff from all the tech publications anyway, so you are probably just as well off in the end. Of course, if you want to read more academic articles per se, stick to the big science publications like Nature, etc.
Here's a list in no particular order:
1) recode
2) pando daily
3) techcrunch
4) techmeme (another good aggregator)
5) Mit tech review
6) New York Times Bits
7) WSJ D
8) CNET
9) Mashable
- datascientist 12y agoO'Reilly Radar
- Sonicmouse 12y agoMashable?! I know it's last in the list, but come on. I can't take your list seriously now. Mashable... Ha.
- ForHackernews 12y agoArs Technica?
- wtallis 12y agoArs Technica is basically an aggregator that dumbs things down almost to Associated Press level. Ars will give you a clue about what's newsworthy, but if you want technical details you have to track down their sources (which were probably on HN and Reddit the previous week).
- nitrogen 12y agohttp://arstechnica.com/science http://arstechnica.com/science is a little bit better than the rest of the site, but its median article quality is also going downhill.
- feybay 12y agoYep, I saw a sharp decline in quality and increase in clickbait right around when GamerGate picked up steam. Maybe it was happening before but it's very noticeable now. Too bad.
- discodave 12y agoI have stopped frequenting Ars over the last year or so, which is a shame. Their articles back in the day about CPU architectures (P4, Core, AMD64 etc.) were basically the reason I went into Electrical Engineering.
- Natsu 12y agoI really loved Ars back when it was good :(
- brotoss 12y agoArs Technica had the best reporting of the Silk Road trial by a long shot
- antidaily 12y agoNo way, man. Their reviews are solid.
- sangnoir 12y agoFor me, Ars is still better than every other site listed. Their quality might have slid, but they are still the best[1]. I grew tired of other sites' clickbait and/or blatant partisanship/slant. 1. for me.
- Kalium 12y agoI stopped reading Pando after I realized that their main media angle is to pick at least one major fight a week.
