Fuck. Have you been to any of the public hospitals ever? Do you have any kind of sympathy for people living poor in your country? Yes. I'm a foreigner, so not your people but am shocked at the lack of sympathy toward people living under poverty line in your country.

R vs Python thread 📚
I mostly used R for coding and used Python for a few tasks only, like web-scraping and text analysis. Recently I spent some time translating some of my R code files for teaching into Python and this is what I found:

One piece of advice I got from the junior mentoring session yesterday was every table and figure in the paper must be self-contained, although the information there may be redundant. Referees like to go through tables and figures first before reading the text.

Finally I was discharged but they didn't give me a bandage to prevent infection on where the needle was put..
It was 2:30am. Still busy. I felt treatments & diagnosis were minimal, they ran out of enough beds & chairs & spaces. The only good thing was it was free.

After finishing shots I felt so nauseated, so I ran to a restroom and vomited. I came back and they gave me another shot. I laid on bed for a while, but occasionally woke up because someone else keeps sitting on my left hand with a needle on.

Overall, I still really like R, but there are a few things that Python can do better.
1. For dynamic programming problems, Python is slightly faster than R.
2. There are a few Python packages that are better than R packages (e.g. interpolation, Machine learning)

If wealthy people use only private healthcare so don't have an incentive to improve public healthcare, that is wrong. Govnt has a responsibility to protect the minimum welfare of all citizens. What I saw yesterday night means there is a long way to go. Hope more people support it

Harvard gives a substantial advantage to the most privileged group, legacies.
Harvard uses a prejudice-prone measure, personality score, to discriminate against Asian Americans.
David Card's analysis is not uncontroversial - many economists disagree.
Fact check: In a recent admissions cycle there were:
2,000 available slots at Harvard College
8,000 U.S. applicants with perfect GPAs
4,000+ applicants ranked 1st in their high school classes
18,000+ scored 700+ on SAT reading/writing
20,000+ scored 700+ on SAT math

This tweet claims Asian kids might have "benefited" from their "racial status"
The truth is a lot of Asian kids have been exposed to racism since they were young
I heard from several that either their Asian kids (or themselves when young) experienced bullying / unequal treatment
“Asian American students who have earned admission to Harvard are smart, promising, and have no doubt worked very hard. But in ways . . . they may have also benefited from their racial status long before they applied,” writes sociology Professor

One naive question about `csdid'
I find ATT for T-1 is not normalized to 0 unlike the usual event study plot. Also same for `did_implementation' command. To find the counterpart of the usual event study plot, should I just subtract ATT(T-1) from all coefs?
