adolfoabeggon New MacBook Pro Is Not a Laptop for Developers Anymore

well, if you you want a touchbarless macbook pro then get a 13' touchbarless macbook pro. Just came to mind this thought "Maybe they're selling that one as part of a sales control group". But then: it's Apple, they just do whatever they think is innovative.

adolfoabeggon Unity raises $181M round at a reported $1.5B valuation

Same situation here in Spain. It's very difficult (it's expensive) to be an entrepreneur. I mean, is very difficult for someone who has an idea, to validate it and built it just to see how the market accepts it. You have to register yourself as an independent professional which cost is around €260/month (plus other bureaucratic processes you need to complete [and pay for them of course]).
