Whenever I mod submissions I always mod down Kickstarter spam. However, I would not have modded this one down on that basis because it is a past-tense kickstater campaign, i.e. successfully kickstarted.
In Alaska, on Highway 1, in a mountain pass near Gunsight mountain there is a particularly straight and level stretch of road. About midway along the straight stretch there are usually one or two Piper PA-18s parked next to the cafe/gas station. Obviously they are using the roadway as a runway.
MOOC is great, don't get me wrong. But the problem with it, as I see it, is if everybody learns the material in the exact same way, it limits a societies problem solving abilities because everyone then uses identical problem solving approaches. Richard Feynman found that he had an advantage over his colleagues in some instances by having knowledge of a different set of tools. So as long as MOOC doesn't wind up becoming "Everything 101" but rather becomes a diverse set of courses allowing many choices by students, then it will have a chance of becoming highly successful.
Instance 1:
"Dude, where are you going with 2 tons of ammonium nitrate?"
"Uh, I got me a farm and I'm using it for fertilizer?"
"Oh, OK."
Instance 2:
"Dude, where are you going with 2 tons of finger nail polish remover?"
"Uh, you should see how big my girlfirend's fingers are?"
"Up against the wall! Spread 'em!"
After the PVC paint is applied and dried, you have an inkjet printer modified to print on a broad flat surface. It prints a conductive ink pattern, solving the problem.
A refinement to enhance longevity and conductivity would be to have the print head be followed by a laser to sinter the metallic particles into a single monolithic conductor.
I almost had an answer but then I realized there was a big flaw, but here goes anyways.
1. As others here suggested, place infra-red LEDs on the tips of the batons.
2. Use a video camera focused on where the batons will be throughout the performance and set the contrast really high. The LEDs will appear very brightly on any video monitor.
3a. (flawed part) Use a blind tongue display (TDU) which enables the singer to "see" the batons, except now the singer is no longer a singer, they are a hummer because they've got a piece of hardware stuck to their tongue. Still might be feasible to adapt the Brainport Vision TDU to another sensitive location.
3b. There may be some piezoelectric displays for the blind coming onto the market that could be used in order to feel the moving baton image.
While hydrogen can be used as a fuel, it makes more sense for it to be used in ammonia production. The #2 most-produced chemical is ammonia and it is most commonly produced using natural gas which produces CO2 as a by-product.
Ultimately, the true test of this new process is how do the costs compare to steam-reforming of natural gas into hyrdogen?
Notably, once a party is deemed to be an NPE early in the litigation, they will be required to post a bond to cover the defendants' litigation costs before going forward.
Except that only idiot companies would be deemed to be an NPE. They would use their shell company to qualify as a non-NPE.
I prefer a juvenile komodo dragon in my lap while I program. Just make sure he's well fed. And watch for tongue flicking on the keys as that may introduce errors.
I've played with a little both Arduino and Raspberry Pi and both are neat and have their strengths and weaknesses.
Arduino is perfect for sensing things. It's normally programmed in C and it's a little cheaper than Raspberry Pi and has less performance. Raspberry Pi is neat but be aware that it runs Linux and as such it is not a real-time operating system. There are small lags so that if you need to respond to the outside world with utmost immediacy you are still better off with Arduino. The raspberry pi is normally programmed in Python and your Python scripts can monitor sensor inputs and send data out, turn lights on, etc.

Wake me up when I can buy a Petawatt laser on a chip.

If it was that important, you could probably solve it with Greasemonkey.
Some software authors would intentionally create bugs that their accomplices would then "discover".

Oh yeah, those are all rotten. To add insult to injury there was Archer, Suits, Shameless and Game of Thrones as well!
OK, I just figured out how to do it and YW.

It's also going to be hard for people to accept the fact that ammonia spills are going to be lethal a significant percentage of the time.
Metal cookwear? Must be clothing that you can cook with.
Well, yeah, but it's Calcium Carbonate, and as such it is also useful in Tums(R) and drywall.
This source also suggests that this is a hoax:

I think that's right. It's the loophole you can drive a truck through. But hopefully this will inspire other more meaningful legislation.

Hey, the 1960's called. They want their language back.

I think a proton is shaped like a dodecahedron, so of course it's going to measure up to 4% less depending on it's orientation.
...yeah an' an' don't forget about Spock and lizard!
This is what they should do next:
Selectively breed for bigger brains, bigger guts and more babies.
Sounds like a bus route.
