No sale would ever be completed if you needed 100% of shareholders to agree. A jokester could buy 1 twitter share for $45 and block a sale. Such transaction must be put to vote by shareholders and only a majority needs to approve.

Render supports building / deploying docker containers so it supports everything, including Java. render.com and fly.io are in a similar niche of "deploy your app easily". To me fly.io prioritized the wrong thing: deploying a

The competition is not just coal and gas but also solar / wind. Solar and wind is the cheapest energy. Then gas, then coal then nuclear. Yes, we should (and will, the trend makes it inevitable) replace coal and gas with solar and wind.
