I am about to start a PhD in political science. I am interested in quantitative methods and causal inference but I don't know exactly what methods I am interested in yet. For my senior thesis and some research I did in undergrad, I had to use the supercomputer the university provided. I am deciding what kind of computer to get and am trying to decide between 24GB and 48GB of RAM in a MacBook Pro. What would you recommend?

It would be nice to have an optional setting that automatically converts codeshare flights to the operating airline and flight number.

For instance, I booked an itinerary entirely operated by Lufthansa with United. When I use email import, it imports the flights to/from a US airport as United and the others are Lufthansa so I have to manually change the 2 United flights.

I don't mind changing it myself but it gets hard to coordinate family members/friends. If family members have are on the same flight but booked with different airlines so the flights are entered under different airlines, it does not show that they are on the same flight.

Kosovo is missing from the list of countries which is odd to me because they are clearly using a count that is more than just UN members.

Less bothersome but I also can’t figure out how to get Palestine to add to a trip and therefore to countries. I kept searching for things that I think should be with in that and they all come back as Israel. I don’t really want to get political and maybe I am just missing something but I use the 197 count of countries (UN + observer states + Taiwan & Kosovo) so it would be nice to be able to have these show up.

A feature I would like is the option to switch the total number of countries in the world to commonly used numbers for how many countries there are.
