I think it's hard for people to stomach the notion of deconstructing race when we've designed society in such a way that has hamstringed groups for generations. I'm all for forgetting 'race' as a social construct, but I think there's a few things we'll need to atone for first.

The NBA optimizes for this somewhat. Many east coast teams will play all three Texas based teams in a single trip. There are a lot of factors that can get in the way of this, such as concerts, trade shows, or other large events that are booked in large arenas.
For instance, the Spurs are forced to go on 22 day road trip because their home arena is busy hosting the annual San Antonio Stock and Rodeo Show.
There is also a lot of data on team win/loss percentages that I'm sure vegas keeps up on. On average - teams on the 2nd game of a back to back road trip win just 32% of their contests. Also, teams that play one game at home and another on the road the following night only win 37.3% of their contests.
Re:Ask HN: What is happening in the food-delivery-as-a-service industry?

The business is growing so fast that third part companies are popping up, offering to aggregate all the delivery services onto one ipad + pos integration.
The delivery services are taking in a decent chunk of money on each item, plus the delivery fee. I don't see them going away anytime soon, as less and less millennials/gen z are eating out.
