But, as the article points out, you are still paying a lot of money for features that you don't need for scientific computing. Also, AWS is notoriously easy to undercut with on-prem hardware, especially if your budget is large and your

To be honest, Meta seems pretty afraid of going out of business if their metaverse-pitch ends up failing - in fact, I'm pretty sure the whole metaverse push just happened because FB was (is) loosing ground fast.

My honest condolences that you have to do damage control here to save your project after your employer did something stupid (again). I've been in this position, it's not great.

Well, if the gas can't be delivered, of what use is the lack of gas sanctions to Russia? In this case it even affected NS2, which Russia was actually fighting to get up and running.

I did not intend to attack or defend Hans with that statement, I just wanted to point out that both you and the original comment could be right at the same time. That being said, it's quite funny that this case showed both sides.

You'd need to place those, maintain them, prevent vandalism, route power to them, pay for network connectivity and weather-proof them. The price of the cameras is not the problem.
