It's actually a really good idea. I think the best way to electrify the roads would be via overhead cables that the cars could connect to. Then, to further optimize things, we could combine cars together into one really long car. We could call this thing a "bus", give it a planned route with a bunch of stops for people to get on/off, and move a whole bunch of people that way.
But since everything's moving in a predictable path, we may as well replace the wheels with rails. We could even go crazy sci-fi and build a series of underground tunnels to get them out of everyone's way and make things a lot faster and safer. Let me know what you think of such a system. I think we should call it the Hyperbus.

Indeed, it's like how the brave Russian tank crews are so eager to intercept javelin missile systems.

Reply to Google tells employees more of them will be at risk for low performance ratings next year by Sorin61
It really is amazing how much mileage we're getting out of the same story repackaged with different headlines. First, the extra 6% in the second to bottom tier were sure to be fired. Then someone did math and concluded that Google had decided to lay off 10,000 employees. Now, Google is telling it's employees that they're at risk of lower ratings. All because they moved to a new performance management system eight months ago that preserved the bottom 2% lowest rating, consolidated the next lowest rating from 30% to 6% as a way to focus more resources on low performers, and made the middle rating the default for 60% of employees.

Totally, they just built a new stadium in Santa Clara and I bet they must have killed tens of thousands of migrant workers in slave-like conditions doing that. Both sides here are exactly the same.

It makes sense if you view bitcoin as a solution in search of a problem.

This is old news. The new performance review system was implemented like 8 months ago. The bottom rating is still going to be reserved for the bottom 2%, but there's a new rating for like 5% of people who are somewhat near there and they'll be getting the same compensation as before the new system. This article just exists to get clicks since other companies have been doing mass layoffs.
