For me, it doesn't get better than 'The Prepared' and the 'Future of Trucks' newsletters. Both provide a window into technicalities that I wouldn't otherwise think about in fields that I'm broadly interested in.

While it definitely promotes our stories, I like the the "What we're reading" and "one more thing" which are usually interesting and external content. I think all this contributes to our fairly high open-rates and healthy organic subscription growth.
There are two other content driven newsletters for South Asia and Latin America but that global newsletter is my favorite.
Um, if you say so. None are in the Bay Area is that helps.
Most of the writers (almost 90%) live or work in the countries that are covered (so are outside the US and EU).

Granted, these aren't specialized in terms of a single industry or single tech field, but, if you're a business enthusiast / love learning about industries you previously didn't know about, these are excellent.

The main thing you learn is that outside of governments there isn’t much of a satellite image industry. Which is why there aren’t that many posts.

Anyone else annoyed by cheap trick of substack, not showing the pricing of the newsletter until you put your email?
> This week’s newsletter describes a proposal for delinked reusable addresses, summarizes how the WabiSabi protocol may be used as an enhanced alternative to payjoin, examines a discussion about adding communication standards to the DLC specification, and looks at renewed discussion about updating LN commitment formats. Also included are our regular sections with summaries of new software releases and release candidates plus descriptions of notable changes to popular Bitcoin infrastructure software.
This will be basically identical to the corporate media business of yore: start in publishing, build audience, use that to sell events/training (and then, eventually, someone comes along and consolidates all of them). There will be a twist, but...basically.
We aren't even at the start of this trend imo (a lot of the industry news is still distributed physically, I don't think current publications have really "cracked" the format/content organization yet either) as the replies kind of demonstrate.
I have yet to find a better in-depth source for hardware ongoings.
Was pleasantly surprised to see this newsletter reappear after a lengthy hiatus.

CLUI is "dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge about how the nation’s lands are apportioned, utilized, and perceived."
The writer looks through all the various engineering blogs from Big Tech companies and sends out summaries of the most interesting posts.
They also do technical writeups and deep dives on OSS projects and whatnot.
Here's one they did on Apache Spark -> https://www.quastor.org/p/the-architecture-of-apache-spark
Plus it has a slight Microsoft-technology bent, which breaks me out of my Linux/web programming bubble sometimes.
I wouldn't try to replicate his style. Lots of people try, but it is like a virgin turning up to a BDSM orgy: you can't hang, don't try, find your own path.
EDIT: wow, that Dealbreaker story was over 10 years old...what have I done with my life.
In the last couple years Ben added a private podcast stream with audio versions of his newsletters, which has been a huge quality of life improvement for me. I wish more newsletters did this, I would happily pay more.
Keeping up on reading newsletters was fine when I used to travel a lot, but now (with kids, post-COVID) I generally just consume the audio version while driving, working out, etc.
The Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. https://weatherguardwind.com/wind-turbine-podcast/
It's been publishing fashion news every day for over 100 years.
I think it costs around $300/year. But it's important enough that a lot of fashion-related companies pick up at least part of the expense for their employees.
Provides visualizations of the top data driving the news on a given weekday.
My self promotion is the Future News report I started last year: https://news.youexec.com/
We read as many news stories and research papers a day as we can and highlight the top "shifts" (breakthroughs, government moves, or growing business trends) that will impact the future within the next five years.
It's fun to look at the history of the homes and think about how you could renovate it into a personal home, or a bed and breakfast or something.

There was a Dune article that got some traction here a few months ago.
My newsletter focuses mostly on bootstrapping and Personal Knowledge Management these days.

All about podcast industry.
Apologies for the self-promotion, but in case any tech minded finns are reading this, I write a daily news letter about tech in finnish called Transistori [3].

I would appreciate a common spec where packages could ping new releases, something like rss I could then subscribe to and get new release notifications with a changelog.
But mail is something where I don't want spam. Email is for important messages and invoices. I'm trying to keep that space clean.
Since 2007 there's also been a surge of interest in classical political economy, as forwarded by Anwar Shaikh and Michael Roberts. But there's no paradigm shift in this work, and I don't see any influence of this trend on that site anyway.
