Upload is actually optional, and it appears that teachers do retain their copyright: ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/global/MIT_OpenCourseWare_FAQs.pdf Hmmm, so how have they convinced so many teachers to do it?

Plutonium-based.
Its plutonium was produced at Hanford site.

Arch Linux by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Respect. Big respect. Those people are hardcore from scratch hackers, and their wiki is amazing: wiki.archlinux.org/
It's just that Buildroot is more hardcore ;-)
But can you build the ISO full from source: Linux distribution buildable from source
Linux insides by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Documents the Linux kernel. Somewhat of a competitor to Linux Kernel Module Cheat, but more wordy and less automated.
async (JavaScript) by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
async is all present in JavaScript for two reasons:
Like PCR, but does not require thermal cycling. Thus the "isothermal" in the name: iso means same, so "same temperature".
Not needing the thermo cycling means that the equipment needed is much smaller and cheaper it seems.

This is perhaps the most popular version of Great doubt in 21st century China
Fuller quote as seen e.g. at: www.hrfjw.com/fjrw/hcrw/ywfs/324750.html
大疑大悟,小疑小悟,不疑不悟

This is where Ciro Santilli stored his code since he started coding nonstop in 2013.
He does not like the closed source aspect of it, but hey, there are more important things to worry about, the network effect is just too strong.

While most of this is useless as you would expect from the channel, it does give one key idea: you can change charge locally, but things somehow still work out.
And this has something to do with the general intuition of special relativity that only local measures make much sense, as evidenced by Einstein synchronization.
