Bro concussions are caused by the impact of your brain against the inside of your skull. The event will cause a concussion no matter what. There is some truth to the argument that the force of hits in the modern game is increased with tougher padding.

I wouldn't bet against it

people are their most creative when they're not really serious

http://www.paulgraham.com/swan.html

That's made harder by the fact that the best startup ideas seem at first like bad ideas. I've written about this before: if a good idea were obviously good, someone else would already have done it. So the most successful founders tend to work on ideas that few beside them realize are good. Which is not that far from a description of insanity, till you reach the point where you see results.

The first time Peter Thiel spoke at YC he drew a Venn diagram that illustrates the situation perfectly. He drew two intersecting circles, one labelled "seems like a bad idea" and the other "is a good idea." The intersection is the sweet spot for startups.

This concept is a simple one and yet seeing it as a Venn diagram is illuminating. It reminds you that there is an intersection—that there are good ideas that seem bad. It also reminds you that the vast majority of ideas that seem bad are bad.

The fact that the best ideas seem like bad ideas makes it even harder to recognize the big winners. It means the probability of a startup making it really big is not merely not a constant fraction of the probability that it will succeed, but that the startups with a high probability of the former will seem to have a disproportionately low probability of the latter.

is this how patents are supposed to be written? this is the aspiest thing I have ever read.

Where a helmet of the invention includes discrete magnets, one or more magnets, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more than 10 magnets can be used.

Also uses the phrase "In some embodiments" 60 times. often in one sentence after the other for excruciating paragraphs at a time
