Galileo Feynman: A List of Reference and Educational Sites

I looked for a list of reference and educational sources on the internet, and I wasn't able to find one (maybe poor searching), so I've made one.

After going through hundreds of sites, I've winnowed the list to about 150. ?If I had to only pick a few they'd be Wikipedia?(and its associated sites), Google (also for its associated sites), The New York Times (for its archives),?WolframAlpha,?JSTOR, SSRN, NASA, FindLaw, How Stuff Works, Khan Academy, and Open Culture. (For non-reference/education, but just general interest I'd have to add MetaFilter.)

The full list, below, avoids sites behind a paywall or requiring registration (though sometimes that's necessary for full content). Here's the full list:
