I write a lot of engineering and test software that interacts with hardware. Generally it communicates over serial or UDP. I package the software as an executable that gets installed on lab PCs. There is a lot of configuration management. A

You're thinking of the Golden State Killer and GEDmatch. Although both 23andme and GEDmatch match up relatives, I don't think they share your actual genetic sequence with your matches. 23andme's research and data publications

I find it odd that the author was miffed about not receiving a response to a thank you letter. Is this a cultural difference? What are the norms in the U.S. and Italy?
