Hacker Newsletter and HN Daily have filled this role for a while now for me. I read the highlights over lunch or on the train, and otherwise try to avoid HN during the day (heh, mostly).

There's also http://hackermonthly.com/

But not after March 2016:

Thanks for the links! I'm one of those people too who likes to read 'actionable' news. HN used to be great for that.

Thanks for the Hacker Newsletter mention, Isaiah! In case anyone is interested, here is the issue that went out today: http://eepurl.com/bGNPCf

Screw your redirect nonsense...

  $ curl -I http://eepurl.com/bGNPCf

    # a bunch of Urchin Tracker stuff

EDIT: eepurl.com and campaign-archive1.com are both Mailchimp garbage.

Not the most optimal (or cordial) way to convince people that they've made a less optimal decision. It also doesn't explain why you're mad, or what alternative you're suggesting.

[username223]

I don't care that much about "optimal (or cordial)," and I'm not all that mad. Distrusting "duck"/"Kale Davis" is probably a good idea, but you're of course free to do what you want.

[woebtz]

Is using Mailchimp (or related services) the issue or link tracking in general?

[duck]

33k people trust me with their email address, but you can do whatever you like username223.
