For stuff that's neat. Neat article? Neat video? Neat pic of a bug you saw? All good. Neat meme? Ehhh... take it to the meme subs.

Rules

  1. Don't be an asshole. If you're reading a comment you're about to make and think "Hmm... this sounds like the kind of comment an asshole would make" then do not make that comment. Yes, even if the other person "started it". The report button is your friend.

Absolutely not. Having to have a cellphone is a barrier. Having to have a specific app downloaded and actively doing Bluetooth work is a huge barrier.
Interesting solution, in theory, super shitty practically.

Also, imagine how insane it would be if a bear was following you and you couldn’t get in the door because you forgot or dropped your phone.

Why not just let the bear in

Just use a normal, hand-operated door?

I'd rather be the bear that isn't being tracked with Bluetooth beacons, than enter whatever shop that buus this, thanks.
