Fewer than I thought:

- http://www.edge.org for long emails about interesting topics.

- A few Stack Exchange weekly newsletters (stackoverflow, programmers, workplace, superuser, stats, data science). The signal to noise ratio can be pretty low but they're easy to skim through.

- Local tech / machine learning groups.

- This week in swing NYC (http://thisweekinswingnyc.wordpress.com/).

I used to get a lot more through rss until Google killed its reader. After halfheartedly looking for alternatives, I decided it wasn't worth it and simply gave up.

Really just some listservs for school organizations/information.

When I was actively doing virology research, I subscribed to ProMed to keep up to date with disease outbreaks, but that was pretty niche specific.

I usually don't like my inbox being hit by mailing lists, too much noise.
