Re:AI generated music to improve focus, relaxation and sleep on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @05:19PM (#11170699)
There are quite a few consumer EEG headsets now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_consumer_brain%E...

Would it be possible to train the music against user-collected EEG data (coupled with cognition tests or sleep data)?

In the same vein: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20836800

Geraniol, linalool, and citronella compared (candles and diffusers, albeit indoors). Geraniol appeared most effective.

Sociopathy is not rare¹, nor entirely maladaptive. Objectivism (a school of thought whose name begs the question) is an attractive philosophical stance for folks already wired against empathy and remorse.

Re:Why Semantic Versioning Isn't on Friday August 29, 2014 @07:44PM (#8245044)
I suspect you can be quite rigorous about the definition of a "breaking change." Removing methods from a public API or changing their interfaces (including adding or deleting required fields from payloads, or removing/re-typing any existing fields from responses) is just a quick stab at it.

It seems like, rather than attempting to document some of the complexity of API changes/versioning at an admittedly coarse grain, your argument is that we should stick with version "truthiness." I don't think I can get behind that.

Also, forgive the ad hominem, but this poster appears to be leaning on his cachet as an angel investor to persuade.

However, the links under Our Companies lead to a line of text and a GoDaddy placeholder.

Slightly less than a minimum viable product, unless you're talking about the blog post.
