Calling Mike Markkula a Co-Founder seems like a bit of a stretch. He was the first investor, sure, but founder? Reading the headline I thought Woz sold something, as Steve is dead and Ron… Well Ron doesn’t have the money for this.
After listing the property for sale off and on since 2013, Markkula, of Woodside, has signed an agreement to sell it to the Wildlands Conservancy, an environmental group based in San Bernardino County, for $35 million. Escrow is set to close July 30.
Am I cyclical thinking he's cashing out after trying for a long time to sell it?
I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. These are the sorts of posts that I try to surround myself with for sanity's sake, so I'd be scrolling through them lots anyhow. I've been a mod on and off, most recently at /c/bicycling where I'm getting that community started. Cheers. :-)
Something that we've all undoubtedly felt and experienced. I've also seen this tendency in other animals, too. I used to have a dog who would break up cat fights and protect the smaller cats.
I really hope this works out, and does not end up being super expensive. Simple, shelf-stable oral insulin seems like it would be a massive improvement.
It’s been getting safer overall for some time, despite everything that we see on the news. It has helped me to actually get out and talk to people I live near. It dispels the mistrust and fear that come with not knowing my neighbors.
As cool as it sounds, I remain sceptical of it’s viability. Oral insulin isn’t actually as good as injected because it is a slower method of getting into the system. Injected insulin doesn’t go into a vein, it’s under the skin where capillaries help distribute it faster. Oral insulin needs to pass the stomach, so can not enter the blood as fast. Being plant based is not really a factor for that.
In the trial on mice, the plant-based insulin was able to regulate blood sugar within 15 minutes, comparable to naturally secreted insulin. Mice treated with traditional insulin injections experienced crashing blood glucose levels leading to hypoglycemia.
This is kinda scaremongering. Improperly dosed insulin will always crash blood glucose. Plant insulin will have the same affect. 15 minutes in a mouse is probably a long time, given their size. 15 minutes is usually how long fast acting novorapid takes to start working, peaking at ~2hrs and lasting roughly 4hrs.
I’m not saying the findings aren’t useful or interesting, but there is always a level of hype around diabetes medicine. Expectations should be tempered.
