      I guess YC Demo Day is happening again, the usual mix of boil-in-bag food startups plus George Orwell via the Sharper Image.https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/20/here-are-the-63-startups-that-launched-today-at-y-combinators-s18-demo-day-1/ …

      "Kobo360 is a Nigerian startup wants to be the Uber for logistics and trucking in Nigeria… with a twist... a crowdfunding platform called Kobo Wealth Investment Network, or KoboWIN to enable Kobo drivers to finance new trucks through citizen investors." I think I know the twist!

      AskMyClass is using Amazon Alexa and Google Home speakers as a teaching assistant in elementary schools. I am actually impressed at how many ways this one is horrible. Automating away teaching jobs with surveillance and AI for small children is 💯 YC https://goaskmyclass.com

      "Qurasense doesn’t think your period blood should go to waste. The company has developed a “diagnostic menstrual pad” called the Q Pad that passively collects blood samples on a test strip that can be mailed for diagnostic testing which is then turned into data."

      FREY is a detergent for men. This is way overdue and fits in well with YC's mission of gendering all anionic surfactants. Whatever you do, though, don't use it to wash that robot bra upthread!https://livefrey.com

      "Synvivia is developing what amount to the kill switch for synthetic biology outside of a lab... Synvivia’s genetically encoded bio-containment system engineers organisms to only live when they have access to specific, small molecules." Funding comes from DARPA. Sounds good!

          I have to pause here because I have a candidate meeting. But I want to make a plea—you know what kind of frippery money gets thrown at in our industry. Please take a moment to fund these progressive House candidates who will tax YC into a smoking crater:https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

          Okay, let's look at the rest of these YCombinator chess moves "BuyCoins is the only exchange in Nigeria that allows Nigerians to buy and sell cryptocurrencies ranging from Bitcoin and Ethereum, to Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, directly with their local bank account or debit card."

          So that's two Nigerian YC startups—one to encourage speculation in Uber-like services, and one to just allow flat-out speculation in what is going to be the most damaging bubble in a long time, ensuring it hits average people in a developing country, not just YC principals.
