Is there an universal method for measuring efficiency in medical care? I'm not looking for a defense of New Public Management or whatever the latest fad in western welfare societies is. But some kind of statistical method open for tweaking.
>>1551807
>Measuring medical efficiency using economic models?
Why not? but don't try to measure economic efficiency using economic models.
They're actually trying to implement a system like this starting 2017. They will give random surveys to random patients, and a healthcare professionals pay will be adjusted based on these surveys. It's going to be a wildly innefective system that screws millions of people... think about a druggy trying to come in trying to get free drugs, getting denied, and then getting one of these surveys.

Life expectancy vs total healthcare spending.
The US btw is worse in this regard than every country with 'socialist' healthcare systems.
/BIZ/ PSA:
There are users going around to every thread urging you to buy potcoin. This is part of that faggoty crypto trading group they sometimes advertise here.
They are small players and needed your help to pump the coin. Rest assured their plan is to dump while you are all still buying.
>source
I'm in the group
You're welcome.
>>1551787
all of /biz/ is in the group, dumbass.
scammers trying to scam themselves and then wondering why nobody bought it.
>>1551788
lol not all of /biz/ is in the group bro. maybe you're thinking of a different group.
>>1551787
hey cunt. I'm the one and only person telling people to buy POTcoin on here, and i'm not part of any gay little discord group.
you are out of the loop and completely deluded.
POTCOIN is going to go up a tremendous amount higher, anyone buying potcoin in october 2016 will likely NEVER make a loss!
do the world a favour and kill yourself.

I work as an estimator in a commercial construction company in Sydney.
I pretty much have the power to influence who's quotes are used during estimation and then chosen during the project.
Is it illegal for me to give contractors insider knowledge of how high he can price a quote for and still be excepted and used?
Example. I have been getting a pretty good relationship with an electrician who I speak to on a daily basis for many works getting quotes.
He is always a good $5,000-$10,000 under the next lowest quote.
I was to propose to him I will tell him to increase his prices by a certain amount while giving me 50% of the additional profits.
Illegal or just frowned upon and will cause me to lose job if found out?
>>1551588
I'll also add we tend to have a lot of regulars who are smaller contractors where any couple thousand they earn makes a big difference to them.
An additional $2-3 grand 2 times a month would be a nice bonus for them and myself.
You'll absolutely get fired if you're found out, but it's construction... everybody does it.
The second you make money from it you will be fired. No one cares if you let your mates know because you want them to have the work. If you gain from it financially you are done.
How would you make $50 a day online with absolutely no startup capital?
For my specific situation I have to take care of my parents full time (to the point I can't leave the house) and they have no savings and social security just isn't enough. An extra $1500 a month would help out a lot but I'm not too sure how to to go about that.

Fuck bro.
exactly like my story. Times get tough.. and I feel your pain. Keep at it though the harder the struggle the more you deserve it when you make it
Don't you guys find it a little funny how everyone on this board seems to be obsessed with Daytrading, Forex, pennystocks, swing trading, commodities, cryptocurrencies and such "get rich quick and easy" schemes?
And don't you find a little funny how the only ACTUALLY rich people on this board invest in the Index and go for the slow and steady?
Don't you find that a little funny?
Don't you think maybe they know what they're talking about? You know? Maybe $URRE and all those Marijuana stocks are exactly the same as all the other Pump and Dumps (total flops) that we've had on /biz/ over the years?
Don't you think it's perhaps possible that Potcoin is the same as Ethereum, which was the same as DOGE, PND, DRK, RIPPLE and all those other memes of days long past?
>>1551455
>only invest in index funds, all money is in blue chips
>>1551463
what
>>1551455
Im at 22% YOY without the meme trading bullshit. Value investing 'penny dreadfuls'.
8% is simple for a risk averse numpty. you can simplify that return by just giving it to the bank, they'll work it harder than you can. real reward comes from real work.
Penny stocks are dead simple, especially on the ASX. Anything under 4cents is where the action is. I personally play under 2cents. a few pip movement is a few hundred bucks.
Value of market cap must be lower than value of IP or assets at liquidation. Evaluate based on 80% VWAP over a reasonable period, and do the same for 60%.
Review P&L's looking for skeletons and know a little about the industry you are investing - if you don't know - learn. There is nothing wrong with expanding your knowledge base.
Start with a shortlist after filtering the stock data that meets your needs and review each from there. If there is a "maybe" don't fuck about with it, throw it to the bottom of the shortlist and move to the next. When you come back to it, review the reasons that made you say "maybe" - another company in the same field may answer the question, firming up doubt.
Watch for reverse take overs - review the consolidation vs the current value and factor in potential. There is clear pattern these companies follow before and after the pivot. Chart a few from before RTO is announced and end on delisting the ticker to see what i mean. The buy in is usually a week before the action. MCT: ASX is one of my recent favourites. Previously PLD, walked in on that one at 0.005 - currently at 0.051
I play the ASX, have done so for years. Have a historical database of useless numbers that spit out "potentials" every week. While i'm off fighting crime during the week, i take my half hour lunch break to work out where to dump my next months paycheck.
I also advise salary sacrificing shares in the company you work for. for no other reason than it reduces your tax burden and pays you a dividend you an use to by more shares.
Anyone here an economics student? I'm minoring in it, and next semester I have to take one of
>intermediate micro
>intermediate macro
>econometrics
Which one of these will fuck my shit up the least? I've done calc 1 and business stats so I wouldn't be completely outclassed with any of them. At least it's only my minor so I only have to take 1 out of the 3.
Economics is sociology with money. None of it is real.
>>1551435
Same boat as you, studying first economics/finance and mech engineering (Australia lets us do this)
I find macro more enjoyable, but micro is easier. I haven't studied econometrics yet but I've heard it's just math. If you found calc 1 easy I'd do econometrics, if you found macro hard I'd take micro, but if you did alright at intro macro I'd do intermediate because it's more interesting.
>>1551449
This is true. Make sure you major in something useful like finance.
>>1551435
Econometrics is the most scientific.
Good places for a decent full grey suit (blazer, ties, oxford shirt, shoes)? Budget is $3000

Depends entirely on where you live. A fully-canvassed off-the-rack goes for $1k up. You likely won't be getting a bespoke or MTM + shoes + shirts for only $3k.
>>1551353
If you are spending 3k on a suit right out of college, I would prepare for unemployment. People don't hire kids dressed better than they are. Go back to school and take Humility 101.
Biz, Help me out.
I have a pretty decent job I am happy with, but the rest of my life sucks dog shit.
I am in my mid-30s single with no friends and terrible social skills.
With the massive amounts of time I have after work, I would like to get a part-time job that will help me out socially, and perhaps talk with co-workers like I used to back in HS. I am ultimately trying to use the extra time I have so I don't become a lonely alcoholic.
I was thinking about sales, but most are in retail, and I don't think that would benefit me too much if it were retail sales like working at a cell phone shop?
Any suggestions?
>>1551269
put it all in cryptocurrencies and retire early
>>1551269
It's too late for you. People your age are to busy on their own bullshit to have you in their life. People younger than you will see you as the creepy old man. You need to get a hobby like biking to meet people at this point.
t. creepy old man
Dude, get a retail job.
Im 36, changed career recently and moved into retail.
Stay away from fast food!
So i have 14k in the bank (Canadian)
Should i go to college for business - finance
or keep saving to try and purchase a subway
Also i'm 19
>>1551246
You're going to need a lot more of that for a Subway m8
>>1551246
purchase a subway.
you'll be an actual business owner by the time some finance faggot in college finishes his degree and is 80k in debt.
you can just watch youtube lectures or take MOOC's and learn more than they do.
Hi, i have been trading stocks for a while as a hobby, yes i can afford to lose what I trade. I have recently diversified my portfolio into trading crypto. What im noticing is Huge fluctuations on a daily basis..
Is the cryptosphere basically a faster version of the stock market?
>>1551224
Stocks are backed, crypto is useless except for meme tier speculation trading.
>>1551228
The core dilemma is as follows:
>Many first adopters do so out of a speculative desire fueled by fluctuation
>Increased use results in wild price fluctuation
>Wild price fluctuation drives away businesses who don't care to speculate
>Without the participation of lots of business crypto remains unstable
Essentially you have a crate containing a crowbar. It can only be opened with the crowbar inside of it.

When did you realise that even 6 hours of sleep is a sign that you'll never make it? Obama has people to do everything for him as well. I'd say that since you have to do your own chores then you shouldn't sleep more than 4 hours a night if you want to make it.
>>1551114
That's a list of only 12 people lol.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/28/successful-people-who-sle_n_5201290.html
For example Jeff Bezos sleeps a full 8 hours a night.
It's more about what you do when awake that matters. If you only sleep 2 hours a night but spend the other 22 bullshitting, you're not going anywhere.
Someone needs to start pointing out that just because you list sources at the bottom of an infographic, doesn't mean anything if the sources just straight out pulled it out of their asses.

Life is meaningless. Just came here to say that.
Has anyone ever tried getting an MBA with no work experience? Does it actually help you get a amazing job? Did you ever get weird stories of needing to lie about your past or some kind of embarrassing thing where you were laughed at for not having many good work studies?
I am 22 and just about to study the GMAT but kind of hesitant and wanting to ask the audience.
>>1551108
get a fucking internship at least dude
I did.
huge mistake.
>>1551108
>MBA with no work experience
Defeats the whole purpose of getting it in the first place
/sci/ is full of people who graduated with STEM degrees (chem, physics, math) and couldn't get jobs, so they immediately went into an MBA, and the end result is just more debt and they still can't get no job.
Who else /arbitrage/ here? Those shitty cryptocurrency markets constantly have free money lying around

How bout them fees tho? Still an opportunity there after calculating in those?
>>1551007
Maybe. I can see the opportunity but it is extremely fleeting. Maybe a bot could do it.
