Early user of simple here and, while their design was excellent, there was little else to recommend them. Plenty of other banks offer no-fee atm access and have apps. Those banks, unlike simple, reliably process transactions. They went down more than once, which meant my card was declined. The customer service rep was nice when he told me their servers were down. No advance notice. It would be nice to have a bank that, you know, works.

Misleading headline. The study is more accurately paraphrased as 'where you grow up.' The authors found little difference between those who moved when they were young from a low mobility area to a high mobility area.
I would love to see a deeper investigation into how mixed-income neighborhoods positively impact mobility. It's a relevant point when discussing housing subsidies and future infrastructure projects. Many of the low mobility families in the NYT article have no car or only one car. In modern cities which depend almost exclusively on private-car transportation, this is a serious obstacle to higher wages.
Congrats! Really awesome that you followed your interests and made the leap.
It says great things about twilio that they are willing to train and grow their employees. Other companies should take note.

I do wish google would be a tad less serious with their advertising. These overly earnest, schmaltzy ads are getting old.
