I'm with you here. "Rock solid, fast, and small" is a better example of "less is more"
"Worse is better" implies lowered quality.

I don't see why something like their systems couldn't be applied here. Well, other than the fact that you'd need the resources (see: cash and massive satellite network) that the USAF has...
If you think that running a sting operation to catch pedophiles is going to lead to a Third Reich-esque roundup and extermination of minorities I really don't even know what to say.
I agree with you that selling a dimebag to a teenager to bust them is shitty and shouldn't be done. But there's a world of difference between busting kids for weed and catching pedophiles. If they're taking these people off the streets I really do not care if they're "disingenuous" to get them.
From wiki: "The average survival from onset to death is two to four years, though this can vary.[5][16] About 10% survive longer than 10 years"
Like a Mt. St. Helens level explosion, or something like the "Hooooooly smokin' Toledo" video:
Dietarily, they're referring more to chronic inflammation, there's info about it here under "chronic inflammation":

That being said, I also realize that there's more to life than writing code. I spend all day at work writing code. The last thing I want to do is go home and write more code. There's an entire world out there that I won't see any of it if I stay inside locked to my computer 24/7.
Why does everyone HAVE to have a side project?
At least for me, I find that the combination of logical and creative skills needed as a developer allows me to stay stimulated and focused more than I've been able to at any of the other jobs I've had in the past. And since I interact with computers far more than people, I'm in a fortunate position where I can throw my headphones on and dive into a project 100% without worrying about having to talk too much with others about it or do something else to take my focus elsewhere.
That said, I do take medication so I'm definitely being helped along in the focus department.
The only downside that I have found is not specifically programming related, just the realities of working in an office. I find myself easily distracted by others in the workspace, and since I work at a big company there's always a lot of people moving back and forth going to meetings and stuff like that. I have headphones on 99% of the time and have a desk facing out a window and away from the rest of the office, but as anyone with ADHD knows it's impossible to NOT notice things, especially if it's someone/something moving at the edge of your peripheral vision, so I still find myself becoming distracted from time to time. But as time goes on I get better about being more disciplined and snapping my focus back to the screen when these distractions pop up.
I sometimes cut out early during the week and come in on a weekend to make up the hours. I find that I am much more productive when I am the only one in the office and there's nothing to distract me.
Which is strange to me, since when I hear "drone" the first animal that comes to mind is an ant. I thought it'd just be a catch-all term for any kind of bot.
Do the police there have tasers? That could be a good tool for this type of thing.
There was a video going around a few years ago where a policeman shot a robber in the thigh. The round hit his femoral artery and he was dead within five minutes.
