I want to test out my algorithms and I can't find any dataset to work with. here's a wiki page if you don't know what's a minimum cost network flow problem : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum-cost_flow_problem#:~:text=The%20minimum%2Dcost%20flow%20problem,flow%20through%20a%20flow%20network.
I'm sorry if this post doesn't fit the requirement of the subreddit.
If the title wasn’t clear:
States generally want to increase the number of residents to increase the tax base and a strong wage improves the economics of the area and reduces bleed to areas with more opportunity. If the States provide a cost of living metric and base it off of a 40/hr week for 2 wage earners for a family of 4, they can have a minimum wage that works for their area.
This is the code i wrote for this question. it got pretty complicated. I want to know if the code is right and what can i do about the empty 'if' . Is there any other syntax i can use? Or do you have any other way to solve this?
please help if you can
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int w1,w2,w3,w4,w5,w6,w7,s1,s2,s3,s4;
printf("Enter weight of coin:");
scanf("%d%d%d%d%d%d%d",&w1,&w2,&w3,&w4,&w5,&w6,&w7);
s1=w1+w2+w3;
s2=w4+w5+w6;
s3=w1+w4;
s4=w2+w5;
if (s1==s2)
if (w1<w7)
printf("Coin 7 is heavier.");
else
printf("Coin 7 is lighter");
else
if (s3==s4)
if (w3==w7)
if (w6>w7)
printf("Coin 6 is heavier");
else
printf("Coin 6 is lighter");
else
if (w3>w7)
printf("Coin 3 is heavier");
else
printf("Coin 3 is lighter");
else if (s3!=s4)
if
if (w7==w2)
if(w7>w5)
printf("Coin 5 is lighter");
else if (w7<w5)
printf("Coin 5 is heavier");
else if (w7!=w2)
if (w2>w7)
printf("Coin 2 is heavier");
else if (w7>w2)
printf("Coin 2 is lighter");
else
if(w7==w3)
if (w4<w7)
printf("Coin 4 is lighter");
else if (w4>w7)
printf("Coin 4 is heavier");
else if (w7!=w3)
if (w1>w7)
printf("Coin 1 is heavier");
else if (w1<w7)
printf("Coin 1 is lighter");
}
Why YSK: Friends or family might have had a tough year and might have put a lot of effort/thought into your gift so even though it may not be hundreds of dollars, remember to be kind!
This is something I’ve never understood. The reason behind the federal minimum wage existing is to provide a livable wage (as stated by FDR); however, the wage needed varies by state and even by city.
So my question is: why isn’t this a ratio based on cost of living? If it was, when cost of living is raised due to inflation, then the minimum wage would also increase (assuming it was assessed yearly).
Today the state's basic minimum wage increased $0.22 to $9.87 an hour. For tipped employees, it went up $0.08 to $3.75 an hour, and for 16- and 17-year-olds it went up $0.19 to $8.39.
The City of Ann Arbor's living wage, which must be paid to employees providing services to the City of Ann Arbor, for companies with contracts totaling more than $10k per year with the city, remains $14.05 an hour until April 30, 2022, or $15.66 for employees who receive no health care benefits.
Federal minimum wage retains its 2009 levels of $7.25 an hour, or $2.13 for tipped employees.
The federal Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for social security benefits went up 5.9% in December, for benefits payable this month.
US inflation was estimated at 6.8% in 2021, the highest level since 1982.
I'm not sure how many Ann Arbor employers pay state minimum. Several local retail and fast food businesses have been advertising $15 an hour lately, with some adding bonuses for new employees who keep working for several months. The lowest rate I've seen advertised was $13 an hour, although businesses that pay less than that are probably reluctant to divulge pay rates until they've gotten candidates in for an interview.
The title says it all. Minimum wage was first instituted for the purpose of ensuring that everyone can support themselves regardless of their skill level or education. It is glaringly obvious that every time the minimum wage is increased, suddenly rents and other aspects of the cost of living increase accordingly, effectively cancelling out the increase in wage! Until there is some sort of regulation governing the various facets of the cost of living, increasing the minimum wage will do nothing more than continue the out of control spiral of inflation. Seriously, I feel like that Mugatu meme "Doesn't anyone notice this?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" sums up my opinion on the whole subject of increasing the minimum wage! Everyone deserves to be able to put in an honest weeks work, no matter what kind of job it may be, and be compensated enough to, at bare minimum, meet their own basic needs without needing to seek alms. This isn't achievable by merely increasing the minimum wage and ignoring the other factors that keep the poor right where they're at!
Of course the media does get it. They keep reporting that there are record job openings in California, and the US, without mentioning what those job openings pay.
It does no good for someone in California facing $2,000 a month in rent to take a job paying even 15 bucks an hour. Such a job grosses $2,400 a month, but after taxes net $1,900. A person in this situation would be $100.00 underwater only accounting for rent.
Jobs abound in California, yet unemployment remains high

There are plenty of tracking devices already in place to make this a reality. Minimum wage should a be livable wage at 40 hours a week. No it shouldn't be fancy but you should be able to survive with adequate food, shelter, and utilities.
If your business can't afford this, it doesn't deserve to exist.
the real issue here is inflation/cost of living/impossible prices for necessities.
if we keep pushing for higher and higher wages without adopting rent caps, cost controls, etc, the problem will never be solved.
personally, i see rising rent prices as completely unsustainable, but they just keep going up. rent control is one of the only things i can think of that would actually make a difference
this is just what i’ve been thinking about lately and not based on research, so any comments with other opinions are welcome
