Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers cite Nick Farina's posts on iBeacons, on Android from an iOS developer's perspective, and on git being simpler than people think. Commenters use them as sources or as originals of reposts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
According to http://nfarina.com/post/101309491728/lets-talk-about-beacons , all iBeacons do is broadcast over bluetooth a unique id, which your phone can read silently. From there, specific apps installed on your phone will register to specific ids to listen to, and then can send that information off to a third party if the phone is connected to the internet.
