From the vault...
The Hertella Auto Kaffeemachine was the first and only known* dashboard-mounted coffee maker. Manufactured in 1959 specifically for the Volkswagen Beetle, it came with porcelain cups which could stick to the machine magnetically.

The Hertella Coffee Machine Mounted on a Volkswagen Dashboard (1959): The Most European Car Accessory Ever Made
Current auto-industry wisdom holds that no car without cup holders will sell in America. Though this also seems to have become increasingly true across the rest of the world, I like to imagine there still exists a country or two whose driving public holds fast against that particular design vulgarism.

Concise Spectrotemporal Studies of Magnetar SGR J1935+2154 Bursts
SGR J1935+2154 has truly been the most prolific magnetar over the last decade: It has been entering into burst active episodes once every 1-2 years since its discovery in 2014, it emitted the first Galactic fast radio burst associated with an X-ray burst in 2020, and has emitted hundreds of energetic short bursts. Here, we present the time-resolved spectral analysis of 51 bright bursts from SGR J1935+2154. Unlike conventional time-resolved X-ray spectroscopic studies in the literature, we follo…

Handling Open Research Data within the Max Planck Society -- Looking Closer at the Year 2020
This paper analyses the practice of publishing research data within the Max Planck Society in the year 2020. The central finding of the study is that up to 40\% of the empirical text publications had research data available. The aggregation of the available data is predominantly analysed. There are differences between the sections of the Max Planck Society but they are not as great as one might expect. In the case of the journals, it is also apparent that a data policy can increase the availabi…

After Speedy Start, Appeals Court Slows Down on Trump Immunity Decision
The implications have started coming into focus with the scrapping of March 4 as the start date for the former president’s federal trial on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election.

Lawrence Lessig has a message for America:
Donald Trump’s assault on democracy in 2020, with his stolen-election lie and refusal to concede the White House, may have been shocking, but wait till you see what’s coming next.
“We are in a profoundly dangerous moment,” the Harvard law professor says. “This is a catastrophic year, and the odds are not in our favor.”
Such a blunt warning carries the gravitas of its source. Lessig is a leading thinker on how public institutions c…
