That happens at all large organisations. I worked at a large oil company and if our contracts with a vendor represented (or would have represented) more than a certain % (i forget what) of that vendors business, they didn't get the contract. As well as having vendors more likely to stay in existence, it stops the org being "morally responsible" for keeping them afloat.
I'm no expert but that looks like an impressive feat of skill, coming blind through the clouds and picking out a relatively small patch to land on. Remember also it is late autumn there, pretty windy (according to TFA) and the wind would probably be doing weird things off the sea around those cliffs. All in all, very cool.
I have my eyes on that, looking forward to V3, maybe they manage to ship mobile support as well. That would be fantastic. For anyone that doesn't know, it's still a browser based stack.

He basically invented the natural history documentary, maybe even the science documentary. Before him, there was little to no serious natural history programming, or what there was was quite "folksy". And with it, he created, sustained and increased the public interest and concern about the natural world.
I suspect many scientists can trace their early interest in science back to him. And I believe the green movement would have had a lot less impact without him.
A radio report I heard said that hantavirus is nothing like coronavirus. It is not new, endemic, and there is plenty of immunity around to slow down local spread.
