I think you are mixing up throughput with latency. Can you confirm that you're not?
To further elaborate, there's always going to be flows that require large units. Like a link between EU and the US.

> Of course, on paper it's a terrible idea to pay off a mortgage early (assuming a reasonably low interest rate).
Why? The longer my mortgage lasts, the more interests I'm paying (no matter how low they are). If I could pay the entirely of my mortgage now, I would because it will be cheaper.
I don't think rich people (the really rich ones) pay their houses valued in 1 million, via mortgages. They pay them upfront (because they have the money). Why on earth would they apply for a mortage that lasts 10-20 years? They would end up paying 1 million + interests.
There's still better options. You can get a low interest loan against your portfolio. That way, your portfolio is accumulating interest faster than the loan rate. At Merrill Lynch, this is called a LMA, loan management account[1].
I'm not rich, so I'm not sure what other options the wealthy have.

Hmm, is it definitely your application with your personal details? I've had a few instances where someone with the same name (and a very similar email address) accidentally used my email address instead of theirs when signing up for things online. So maybe they used your email by mistake or something, especially if you're using something like Gmail for it.
If it's definitely based on your details, then yeah, impersonation seems likely.
I have a pretty unique last name, and it was sent to last_name@gmail.com and the greenhouse email only had my first name in it so I don't know what other information was submitted.
I think the best way is to work at a growing company and show leadership and growth potential. Start completing projects on time and you'll probably get promoted or tasked with additional sr level responsibilities.
If you don't get promoted, you at least have some talking points when leaving at your next interview which can place you in that seniority bracket.

You could also literally say 201 which is shorter than “more than 200”
what if they lay off another person, does the article need to be update then? There's some advantage in using approximate numbers.
I_dev_outdoors commented on Ask HN: How do you effectively predict how long a task will take? · Posted by u/NextHendrix
If it's not something you can scope out when the task is brought up, you can specify how much time it would take you to research it in more detail to get an estimate.
Screwed in what sense? Was it a life or death situation?
unable to copy ATC instructions, unable to cross stuff off my in flight check list. I guess not screwed, but when task saturated, it wouldn't be good.
