The daily stoic has been incredibly useful in keeping myself on track ever since I discovered it. Other helpful resources: the YouTube channel "Einzelgänger".
It's probably decently-known with the Hacker News crowd, but I've met few others in the various places that I've worked who have even heard about it, let alone Bruce Schneier himself. It's a great way to learn about new attack vectors and developments in secure computing
Bank Underground is a blog for Bank of England staff to share views that challenge – or support – prevailing policy orthodoxies. The views expressed here are those of the authors, and are not necessarily those of the Bank of England or its policy committees.
Globalsecurity provides one of the few other NPOV perspectives on global events, aside from financial news.
Still looking for something equivalent in human interest. I currently suspect the constraints of NPOV and minimal selection bias yield an empty set for human interest.
Foreign Exchanges is my favorite source for daily foreign policy analysis and Derek’s historical writings are amazing. Really incredible value for the price.
I doubt it's underrated by anybody reading it but worth mentioning nonetheless: Money Stuff by Matt Levine. Brilliant, hilarious coverage of all things money by a former lawyer and banker.
Evgeny Morozov, who is a great antidote for technological hubris, has organized with others to create a collection of noteworthy information on a variety of subjects but related to a political, activist theme. One need not agree with this work in order to learn from it.

Stratechery by Ben Thompson (not really underrated on HN)

What I like, is that it has been coming every Friday, for years. And it's really short. This has me actually reading the links.
- wide ranging topics on 'exponential thinking'. Economics, climate change, AI, computing
It’s mostly about interesting links on management, company culture, or software development.
