    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique can include establishing an audio communication session between first and second computing devices and obtaining, by the first computing device, an audio input signal using audio data captured by a microphone. The first computing device can analyze the audio input signal to detect a speech input by its first user and can determine a duration of a detection period from when the audio input signal was obtained until the analyzing has completed. The first computing device can then transmit, to the second computing device, (i) a portion of the audio input signal beginning at a start of the speech input and (ii) the detection period duration, wherein receipt of the portion of the audio input signal and the detection period duration causes the second computing device to accelerate playback of the portion of the audio input signal to compensate for the detection period duration.

    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include receiving, by an application running on a computing device, an indication that a user of the computing device has been authenticated, and receiving a selection of a settings page, the settings page associated with the application and the user. The method can further include requesting the settings page for display on a display device included in the computing device, and receiving the settings page including a value for a preference for a setting included on the settings page, the value for the preference being signed by a private key associated with the user. The method can further include validating, by the application, the value for the preference using a public key associated with the application, and based on the validation, displaying, by the display device, the settings page including an indication of the value of the preference for the setting.
