Correctional facility offering Narcan from vending machine

(KRON) — Free doses of Narcan are available in a vending machine at the Maguire Correctional Health Services and the Sheriff’s Office in Redwood City, according to the San Mateo County Executive’s Office.

Narcan is a nasal spray that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose and is the brand name for the drug naloxone. The boxes have two doses of Narcan and are available for anyone in need, including inmates, inmate family members and friends and members of the public. The touchscreen vending machine is in the public lobby of the facility.

According to the San Mateo County Executive’s Office, the goal of the drug vending machine is to “reduce community harm and potentially save lives.”

The vending machine provides information about other services, such as food, housing, substance use treatment, mental health, probation and parole.

The California Department of Public Health recommends that friends and family members who know someone at increased risk for opioid overdose, especially those with opioid use disorder, carry naloxone, according to the San Mateo County Executive’s Office.

Swiss startup Neural Concept raises $27M to cut EV design time to 18 months
As pressure from Chinese competitors intensifies and the EV market stalls, major U.S. and European auto manufacturers are racing to cut the cost of producing electric vehicles so they can get to the price tags and profit margins of ICE cars. Now, a company spun out from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), has raised $27 million in a Series B funding round to apply AI to solve that exact pain point. The company says it uses deep learning in a 3D environment, and combines data analysis with machine learning to speed up development times by up to 75% and product simulation by as much as 10 times.

VCs are selling shares of hot AI companies like Anthropic and xAI to small investors in a wild SPV market
SPVs are generally formed by investors who have direct access to the shares of these startups and then turn around and sell a part of their allocation to external backers, often charging significant fees while retaining some profit share, known as carry. While SPVs aren’t new – smaller investors have relied on them for years – there’s a growing trend of SPVs successfully getting shares from the biggest names in AI. Rather than giving up the shares because the early investor can’t afford them, they’ll create the SPV, fund it by raising money from others, and, in most cases, charge additional fees.
