Do it, but do apply a swear filter- it may diminish the spirit of the account, but it increases the likelihood it will get displayed.

He'll get away with this because it's not on video. The only lies that stick to him are ones that can be played back instantaneously while he's answering the question, a la one of the debates. Otherwise he denies anything and everything he's said previously.

I did it myself. I run mitmproxy and look at the responses.

Also that app doesn't have a third-party library/legal page. Which makes me wonder if

A. They didn't use any third party libraries in their app.
B. None of the libraries they used required them disclose it.
C. They don't give a gently caress about licenses.

It looks like they're using the Dropbox API to get a real link- not just hotlinking. That's probably OK with their TOS but they still might run into bandwidth issues. Presumably they did this because they knew they weren't going to have the schedule until the last second and need to be able to make frequent updates to accomodate Diva Donald.


Gen. Lynch's photo doesn't show up because they pasted his bio in instead of the URL to his picture. The images are hosted all over the place, on tumblr and S3 and various government servers. Pretty dumb but w/e.

quote:

Brock Mealer, Motivational Speaker
Brock Mealer is a walking miracle. After suffering a spinal cord injury on Christmas Eve of 2007, he was told he had a one percent chance he would ever walk again. Mealer’s story struck the hearts of millions of Americans. He sustained his injury in a car crash just five minutes away from his home. While his brother, an offensive lineman headed to the University of Michigan to play football, was able to free Brock from the wreckage, the two brothers lost their father, David, and Elliot’s girlfriend, Hollis Richer, in the crash. Today, Brock has conquered the odds and is able to walk again. He now shares his story with many, inspiring those he meets to join the one percent.
So basically they hired this guy to speak just so they can muddy the waters on the phrase "the one percent"?

Yeah, it's using the dropbox API to get a file from Dropbox. This gets JSON from their API which returns a link to the file on dropbox itself.

Also you may notice in that link is a client_id and client_secret. They were smart enough to disable authentication with those keys. So close to having Bernie Sanders on their speakers list :(.

I know Brock, the 1% thing is that he had a 1% chance of walking again after the accident, and he is walking today.

Brock was hired to speak because his aunt is an Ohio delegate. Literally just a call to the delegates to see if anyone knew any inspirational younger people that would speak.

I'm betting "a". They've got the place locked down tight enough to funnel the protests wherever they want and keep people separated.

Remember that the '68 DNC protests were started by an FBI agent provocateur. They've got not reason to stir poo poo this year.

Having seen the police presence that they used to lock down the Twin Cities back in 2008, I have a hard time believing that any protest could escalate to a riot without the cops landing on it with both feet.

The FBI also sends agents into the host city months in advance to sniff out radicals planning poo poo.

On some dark level I find myself hoping for F: Cleveland gets burned to the ground, but realistically I expect a mere B. Piling lots of people with various levels of weapons into the city leads to a result that the Cleveland PD is not entrey surprised by, given their request for John Kasich to illegally terminate open carry.

(Actually the most black humor scenario is Kasich marching the Ohio National Guard into the convention and declaring himself the nominee, but that is not as realistic)

Why would anyone protest? Trump won/is winning. There's not likely to be anything to come out of the convention that will blow anyone's minds, other than a hilarious trage-comedy of errors with all of these 'wonderful' speakers.
