Medium and tech crunch for skimming headlines (the articles are trash though). The other sites mentioned for reading articles. Also Reuters and cnbc

I look at Hype Cycle for Tech and do research based on the cycle. Also listen to podcasts and read books. Podcasts and ebooks are best for long commute.

What are your thoughts on open relationships? I’ve never been in one. The idea itself of not having sex with the same person for the rest of your life I get. But in reality I just don’t know if I can do it personally. Anybody else struggle with this? I feel like most of the community wants open and I just don’t know if I’ll ever get there. And I feel like it limits your (already small) dating pool. Not suggesting I change just to be in a relationship, I just struggle with the whole thing. Sigh
