What are the advantages of this compared with ENS (Ethereum Name Service) and Unstoppable Domains?

They've deeply weakened .net as it was always second fiddle - now there are more specific/relevant second fiddles to choose from.

Good .com's are worth much, much more now (e.g. Voice.com sold for $30 million USD recently).

I think some of the shady behavior from the new extension registries (they seem to hold back every decent name as a "premium") really hurt their adoption.

It was dropped (mistakenly) by CSC Corporate, caught by Dropcatch: https://www.dropcatch.com/domain/Paa.com
Maybe in the past things were different (although many studies into this tend to have ulterior motives), but I would say that Veganism has gone from an obscure lifestyle/diet to the acceptable mainstream very rapidly - e.g. U.S's population has gone from 1% vegan to around 6% in just the last couple of years (https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetforgrieve/2018/11/02/pictu...).

Even KFC are creating a vegan option.. sometimes change happens quick. I see it becoming more and more normalised.

Why not go vegan/vegetarian? Most people who do handle it perfectly fine, unless there's another reason for suggesting this?

Not so much about something already existing, but knowing how next-to-impossible it'll be to compete against the Googles/Microsofts of the world once the idea starts to take up steam/get noticed.

Not from the U.S (assuming you are) and don't know how it's employed exactly, but don't most states there already have at-will employment where they can get rid of people for no/very little reason anyway?
I agree, and quite like Gitlab, but Github's recent decision to allow free private repos has surely put a bit of a dent in Gitlab/Bitbucket's marketshare expansion - many people were using those services instead of Github just for that feature.

Not all cryptos are the same in this regard. DAG-based ones such as Nano use an absolutely tiny amount of electricity compared to Bitcoin: https://cryptodisrupt.com/nano-is-found-to-be-significantly-...
