How to predict the future via Twitter: Kids’n'Kits or 23andMe’s Holiday Family Pack!
Posted by attilacsordas on December 8, 2008
After the first Twitter prediction here is my second one back from September, realized today:
and here we go….Happy Holidays Grandma you’got a 2fold risk for psoriasis but don’t worry too much about the Alcohol Flush Reaction and your caffeine consumption!
Actually I tried to convince Anna and my mom, also other relatives to enter the field of personal genomics and give me 2 mls of spits…so 3 kits would cost me circa 1000 bucks plus 3x$70 Fedex damage (no combined Fedex package for 3 kits?)…and how many dollars do I have? Oh, I think that’s private and hope Anna won’t read this post too.
But who will genotype Santa? And what about the singles? By the way, Christmas, here’s my video for you:

Love your blog — I’m doing a research paper on direct-to-consumer genetic testing and how it impacts identity (the identity of those who use it that is). I’d be very grateful if you’d consider answer a few questions I’ve posted on my blog about it (esp. since you and your readers are likely to have thought deeply on the topic)

Soft-updates is an alternative to this scheme where the filesystem keeps a list of dependencies that must be satisfied before a change to the filesystem can be visible on disk. For example, you wouldn’t want to write a directory entry pointing at an inode until the inode was initialized on disk and marked allocated. Softdep handles this by rolling back changes to metadata that don’t yet have their dependencies satisfied when we try to write a block. In this way we can commit any completed ‘transactions’ while keeping the disk state consistent. Softdep also allows these dependencies to discover operations which cancel each other out and thus nothing makes it to disk. For example, let’s say you create a temporary file and then remove it after writing some blocks, which compilers often do, if it all happens within the interval of the syncer nothing will make it to disk.
