There is always the Latter-day Saints
Moses 1:35-39
35 But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them.
36 And it came to pass that Moses spake unto the Lord, saying: Be merciful unto thy servant, O God, and tell me concerning this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, and also the heavens, and then thy servant will be content.
37 And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine.
38 And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words.
39 For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
I have an iPhone, but I've been holding off on getting an ad blocker until it becomes apparent which one will really be the best. Apparently I also need to wait to see which one won't close up shop and which one will really be an ad blocker and not just a pseudo-ad blocker.
Sure, that is possible. I've never heard of it happening in Oregon but it probably has a few times. Overall though I think the benefits far far far outweigh the potential downsides. Though Oregon is a fairly laid back place. Perhaps in someplace like Illinois they would have more issues.
Or everyone could switch to the Oregon way of voting and use mail-in ballots. I've lived in places where I had to take my time to stand in line at voting centers. Hopefully never again. Being able to leisurely fill out my ballot in my home and then quickly dropping it off in a ballot box at the library or other such places is so convenient that I'm astonished everyone else doesn't follow this same model. It just works.
It seems like every startup from Apple to HP to Oculus is said to have started in the garage. Why do we never read about a startup starting up in the kitchen or the living room? Especially in California where it would seem that the lack of AC in the garage would be a major deterrent.
This. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and I have one of those breathing machines. But I never use it. I've tried nearly a dozen different masks but I couldn't ever get used to sleeping with any of them. Even if I could eventually fall asleep I would always pull it off my face in my sleep which would then wake me up since it would start making a loud sound.
So far it's great. The older kids help care for the younger kids. We have built in baby sitters. They always have friends to play with. The household chores get spread out ("Many hands make light work"). And, people assume if it costs X to raise 1 child then it must cost X*n (n=7 in our case) to raise more than one child. But that simply isn't true. Toys, clothes, etc. get handed down and recycled. If you make your own meals instead of eating out then it doesn't require that much more food to feed 9 than say 4 (the young ones eat less, often times some of them will be picky eaters, etc.). Plus when it's game night we have plenty of people to compete against;-)
An opposite anecdote. My wife and I have 7 children, and people are always commenting on how young we look (most say we look about 10 years younger than we are) and are shocked when they find out we have any children, much less 7. Of course, other than the children themselves we don't have too much stress. I have a fantastic well paying job, we have great health insurance, we have little to no debt, we live in a great community in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, etc.
I tried it, but it was such a pain to get working on OSX and iOS that I think I eventually gave up. It seems like a great solution if you are Windows centric.
That's great advice. Except I have 6 computers in three locations that I use on a daily basis. Putting it on a stick doesn't really work since I'm really good at losing things. Before using an online password manager I used the same 7 character password for everything. Now my password manager has 100s of passwords, allof which are unique and most of which are 30+ characters long. I really don't know what I would do without it.
>that fetch the same data through REST
But, wouldn't you need something like PHP to hit the database and create JSON data to return to the REST call?

No, but Fortune 100 companies tend to have deep pockets so that expensing a $100 developer fee is inconsequential.

Easy. "Me: Hey Boss, I'm expensing $100. Boss: Sure, whatever." Though, in reality I don't actually run things by my boss before expensing them. But, if I did, this is the response I would get.
Or...just don't try to do OOP in JavaScript. Learn about prototypal inheritance and let go of the need to try to force JavaScript to behave like an OOP language.
Maybe that is because you are stuck on OOP and aren't willing to consider other methods of modeling your domain. Don't try to force OOP onto Javascript. Instead learn about Javascript's prototype. You will be a lot happier using JavaScript if you go with the natural way of doing things instead of trying to force it to work the way OOP languages work. Its like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. This article might be of use in opening your eyes.

I already replied to this, and it's not like anyone is ever going to come back and read this, but I just ran across this perfect quote that exemplifies my thinking on Obama finding out info when he received Top Secret clearance that totally changed his outlook on what he could realistically do.
Daniel Ellsberg, who said (to Henry Kissinger) In his book Secrets:
"Henry, there's something I would like to tell you, for what it's worth, something I wish I had been told years ago. You've been a consultant for a long time, and you've dealt a great deal with top secret information. But you're about to receive a whole slew of special clearances, maybe fifteen or twenty of them, that are higher than top secret.
"I've had a number of these myself, and I've known other people who have just acquired them, and I have a pretty good sense of what the effects of receiving these clearances are on a person who didn't previously know they even existed. And the effects of reading the information that they will make available to you.
"First, you'll be exhilarated by some of this new information, and by having it all — so much! incredible! — suddenly available to you. But second, almost as fast, you will feel like a fool for having studied, written, talked about these subjects, criticized and analyzed decisions made by presidents for years without having known of the existence of all this information, which presidents and others had and you didn't, and which must have influenced their decisions in ways you couldn't even guess. In particular, you'll feel foolish for having literally rubbed shoulders for over a decade with some officials and consultants who did have access to all this information you didn't know about and didn't know they had, and you'll be stunned that they kept that secret from you so well.
"You will feel like a fool, and that will last for about two weeks. Then, after you've started reading all this daily intelligence input and become used to using what amounts to whole libraries of hidden information, which is much more closely held than mere top secret data, you will forget there ever was a time when you didn't have it, and you'll be aware only of the fact that you have it now and most others don't....and that all those other people are fools.
"Over a longer period of time — not too long, but a matter of two or three years — you'll eventually become aware of the limitations of this information. There is a great deal that it doesn't tell you, it's often inaccurate, and it can lead you astray just as much as the New York Times can. But that takes a while to learn.
"In the meantime it will have become very hard for you to learn from anybody who doesn't have these clearances. Because you'll be thinking as you listen to them: 'What would this man be telling me if he knew what I know? Would he be giving me the same advice, or would it totally change his predictions and recommendations?' And that mental exercise is so torturous that after a while you give it up and just stop listening. I've seen this with my superiors, my colleagues....and with myself.
"You will deal with a person who doesn't have those clearances only from the point of view of what you want him to believe and what impression you want him to go away with, since you'll have to lie carefully to him about what you know. In effect, you will have to manipulate him. You'll give up trying to assess what he has to say. The danger is, you'll become something like a moron. You'll become incapable of learning from most people in the world, no matter how much experience they may have in their particular areas that may be much greater than yours."....Kissinger hadn't interrupted this long warning. As I've said, he could be a good listener, and he listened soberly. He seemed to understand that it was heartfelt, and he didn't take it as patronizing, as I'd feared. But I knew it was too soon for him to appreciate fully what I was saying. He didn't have the clearances yet.
