Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-31 18:23:37

While reading the latest results from Prosus, I realized there seems to be a trend that nobody is talking about. There is an obvious wave of consolidation in the food delivery market happening right before our eyes. The once-hot food delivery sector has gone cold faster than your DoorDash order. New entrants have disappeared as most of the VC money chases the cool and hip AI startups. Alongside a wave of acquisitions, the world's food delivery market is consolidating in the hands of 5 companies.

The underground cathedral protecting Tokyo from floods

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-28 08:30:42

When one of these rivers overflows, the water falls to one of five enormous 70-meter tall cylindrical tanks spread across the Channel’s length. Each of these tanks is big enough to accommodate a space shuttle or the Statue of Liberty and they are interconnected through a 6.3km long network of underground tunnels. As the water approaches the Edo River, the ‘floodwater cathedral’ Tortajada visited reduces its flow, so the pumps can push it to the river.

One of the big draws of next week’s Fantastic Four: First Steps is seeing Marvel’s First Family in the retrofuturist Earth-828. They’re Earth’s only heroes in that dimension, and before Galactus shows up, it sounds like they’ve done a pretty good job protecting the planet. They might even be too good at it, which is why they’re in their own universe to begin with. During a recent MovieWeb interview, director Matt Shakman discussed how the Four were made “in this time of optimism during the spac

Here's How to Turn Off Some Annoying iPhone Texting Features

Texting is one of the easiest ways to stay in touch with friends and family, and if you can't find the right words to use in a text, you can always use an emoji. But you might find some texting features on iPhone to be downright annoying. Some of the biggest culprits include autocorrect and predictive texting. Autocorrect can cut down on the number of typos when you're typing, and predictive texting can make it easy to write a full message in a few quick taps. But when I use these features, mor

Being queer, often, means feeling unseen. “We come from a history of erasure that is manifested not only through hate crimes and discrimination, but also through a lack of representation, symbolic violence, and the absence of legal protections,” explains André Mere Rivera, director of the Queer Memory Archive of Peru (Archivo de la Memoria Marica del Perú).

Astronomers who examined the sound waves from the Big Bang say that the Earth — and the entire Milky Way galaxy we call home — could be trapped in a huge void billions of light years across. Their study, which was just presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in the UK, could solve one of cosmology's greatest mysteries: the Hubble tension, or why the older universe appears to be expanding more slowly than younger regions.

Real scholarship happened in new, modern, enlightened institutions like the British Royal Society or the French Académie des sciences. Universities were a medieval relic.
