Ask HN: I want to put free WiFi in schools in my city, how do I go about it?

Hacker News - Fri, 04/05/2024 - 5:47am

I want to put Wifi in the schools. I wanted to know the technical and equipment requirements and the best way to approach it. I am considering 2 approaches.

1) Standalone for each school This is perhaps the simpler approach, just put a one strong setup at every school. I would need a splash login page where the student would log in with their student ID and password. The average enrollment at the schools is about 1k, and the area of each school is about a 500 meter radius.

2) Citywide approach With this one, the major difference is that the students will be able to login at any school in the city, similar to the edu network in the US

What sort of infrastructure would i need for one school with reliable strength? Any recommendations for actual equipment? What is the price estimate/range for one school in the first approach? Are there any companies that already exist that offer this solution including the login stuff as well?

What would be the extra requirements to go from standalone setups to the citywide approach?

Searching OEIS for anti-diagonalised tables

Hacker News - Fri, 04/05/2024 - 5:06am

It seems that if you have a table of valuesthat is acceptedby OEIS by submitting the anti-diagonalised form of your original table, THEN, you can only search for sequences within successive terms of the anti-diagonalisation. You cannot search for, for example, a sequence of values from one row of the original table. Is it as it seems to me?

Thanks.
