Hospitals have had such systems for decades: Negative pressure rooms make sure that the bad air goes out through an exhaust that you can clean or at least keep well away from people. Some cars have HEPA filters, and airplanes often have mor

I don't think everyone agrees with what you claim "the point" is. Which is why your comments seem so nonsensical to many.

It's not app engineering, it's a comparison of GPS accuracy (especially indoors) vs a bluetooth beacon. Beacons work great no matter where you go. I'm currently on the 11th floor of a building. GPS accuracy in the vertical di

I guess you missed the big discussion about the attempting-to-preserve-privacy Apple-Google app. You might want to read up about it before making lots of statements.
