Coding Standstill
My computer is obsolete. That is the ruling from Apple. I've spent too many hours trying to get some coding software to work (npm) to finally determine that it won't because my computer is now deemed obsolete. This kept me from this newsletter, rolling out deving.email, and adding features.
It is not even 10 years old. I guess planned obsolecense which is a bad thing for cars but is acceptable for computers. New computer is on back order.
And why hasn't blockchain fixed the supply chain?
Some outstanding newsletter are added to https://finding.email which has 599 newsletters for you to consider.
Ten Newsletters
Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary, has started a daily newsletter to compliment his tweets. "I began this newsletter to build a community of learners, reformers, organizers, and activists that I could reach out to directly, unmediated by the algorithms that power social media and the trolls who often dominate comments." He regularly comments on inequality. See:
Seth Abramson is an outstanding journalist. His reports from The Proof on the planning for Jan 6th insurrection are must reads.
He takes the same reporting skills to his Retro newsletter to research and write on "sealed video games" and music. I particularly liked his writing on the "Long Sixties" and art.
Tangle newsletter is a "politics newsletter" because all news can be seen as political. It is well written with a left, right, and personal view on major stories. This was coverage of Rittenhouse case. It is also a podcast.
Taylor Lorenz publishes News Items both free and paid. It has short summaries of predominately international news.
There is no doubt that tech is being applied to finance more and more. Crypto is one part but there is a lot more that The Diff covers that I'm trying to understand. To that end, a "web3" list of newsletters is needed, but for now take a look at Diff.
The Dispatch is a paywall news organization that deserves to be in our directory but their free issues are mostly about subscribing. Except, when the two main authors left Fox News they wrote an open letter to readers that made news.
Focus is often cited as a key to a good newsletter. "The Mail" focuses on the USPS with good reporting and storytelling. I really enjoyed the current issue "Misfits" but I'm recommending "From Cash Cow to Drained Cow" for many reasons. It explains the current state of USPS and problems with laws hidden in unreported details. I wish more journalist would continue to report on a story like Aaron Gordon does here.
Next Weekly is a money advise column that looks at both spending and saving. Reviewing your money is a good habit and this newsletter might prompt you to regularly do so.
"What To Read If..." recommends books based on the season. For example, shopping groceries for Thanksgiving. There are also interviews. It is like a weekly update from a great bookstore clerk. Maybe what you need for holiday gift giving.
