In Descript it is used to patch words in videos.

Last year I proudly said it was "two thousand and five" during a video take, and didn't notice it at the time. I was able to add the "twenty" using Descript.


I'm pretty sure Caller ID is forgable and would lead to false negatives.

Then the only winning move is not to play. Everyone goes to voice mail and or all communication is in person. Perhaps these fondle slabs were indeed a fad.

Or just not use PSTN.

Dang was this article manually unflagged ? The comments are just angry insults and a good reason the flags should have been left on.

Police absolutely should have body cameras - quite frequently they’ve proven law enforcement officers handled things correctly where activists have tried to say otherwise.

This is true.

Yet law enforcement officers are some of the most resistant to the idea, and Trump and DHS are extremely resistant to the idea of utilizing them for ICE and CBP, and have even cut funding for it.

When we know that the body cams are frequently used in a way that benefits the people wearing them, I find it quite telling when those people are railing against the idea and those in power actively work to block it.


About 20 years ago they was an early XDG /Compiz plugin called ‘literal focus’ - as a joke, it only focused the focused window. It’s amusing to see this technique being used more practically.

By ‘offline’ they mean not connected to the internet. So peer to peer communication via wifi or bluetooth or USB or whatever else.

This reminds me of how Blink (used by Chromium browsers) started - as Konqueror, the web browser of the KDE desktop used by a lot of Linux distributions.

(Yes there is some Apple webkit in between)


You’re going to need at least a single reference, maybe for the death threats claim.

That’s the easiest one because it made national news and he made a public statement apologizing for it saying there’s “no place, no excuse and no reason for this type of speech and charged language in the discourse.” I had the number of targets wrong it looks like it was only 7 officials. Several of them filed police reports against him for it. His public threat also prompted others to deliver physical notes of death threats toward the same officials.

You could have found that with less typing than it took to ask me for it. There’s an NYT article too.

Which other one are you suspicious of? These are all public knowledge and well documented.


Because it sounded unbelievable and your post is full of other things that people often lie about. You also neglected to mention he was very obviously quoting rap lyrics:

> Fuck (names) as a label and motherfucking crew ...

> And if you are down with (some law firm maybe) as a crew fuck you too

> Die slow motherfuckers

I can’t imagine Tan making death threats in his normal voice like your post alleged, and he didn’t. But yes, what a moronic move on Tan‘s behalf.


What specific things are you suspicious I'm lying about? You said my post is full of topics that people lie about. Which details are suspicious?

Re: the lyrics. Tan himself issued a statement that recognized the seriousness of how his threat landed and that his behavior was inexcusable. So it's curious that you are working harder to excuse it more than he did himself. Threats are often made with an element of plausible deniability or joking tone as cover. That doesn't diminish their effectiveness as threats nor the encouragement for malicious vigilantes to act on them (as we saw with how it spurred others to make their own threats).

Running a startup also ages people prematurely.

Making money fixes that. Look at some of the featured hairlines

That’s true. Mine too.
