To my understanding, the point of this system is not actually how its default component looks or how rich the default components set are. It's to provide a framework to create Custom HTML Elements (which are browser native?) that we can re-use across projects with different front-end frameworks.

e.g., Creating a React Button component using Fast Button like this:

`const ReactButton = () => <fast-button>Button</fast-button>`

I have one created for one of my friend. You can download it here if you want. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zjxj13z5j6ra2x2/cv.doc?dl=0

There is NO concept of holy war in Buddhism. It's purely about love (Mettā).

Although a very (very) few monks are trying to implement such idea. When there is zero reference to support their idea in actual Buddha's teaching, they are seeking and using some ancient India/Sri Lanka historical arguments.

Unfortunately, with the situations with Rohingha conflict, they are gaining some support.

I'm a Burmese Buddhist and strongly against both the arrest of reporters and killing unarmed people of any race/religion. But there is a hidden agenda behind such article.

It used the word "Buddhist" many many times, such as Buddhist village, Buddhist neighbors, Buddhist community. The conflict is much more complicated than religious and those Buddhists mentioned are in fact local "Arakan" people.

See following NY Times article, not to defend the killing or anything but to show the matter is much more complicated than it seems. The western medias have been entirely one-sided and barely listen to the other side of the story of local Arakan.

RSS reader. I use Feedly to subscribe HN altogether with dozen of other sources and receive somewhat around a hundred posts daily. I read through all headlines. But only go through a few that really interest me.

It doesn't help much with filtering content but it help you make sure you don't miss anything interesting.

I'm from Myanmar and not sure why this is posted here.

It's true that the traditional units are still in use. Mostly in rural areas and, local markets and small stores in cities.

Although not all the unites from smallest to largest are all in use. Mostly middle parts of those unit are in common use. e.g., only Htwa (length from tip of your thumb to pinky finger), Taung (length from your fist to elbow), Lan (length of stretch of both hands) are in common use of length. Same goes to weight and volume as well. Even local people don't know the correct measurement of smaller and higher ones.

I have created a converter app for that (Burmese language): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eimaung.th...

Imperial units are also in used, such as mile in highway roads, inches to measure clothes, feet to measure building, pound to weight foods, etc... Government is trying to migrate metric system (I think there was an official statement), but without proper plan, no progress so far.

So, you will see all three of systems are in use in mixture of here and there. It's so mess-up. We have serious standardize problems. Measurements is not the only one. There is a similar story with character sets and encoding that seriously messing up Myanmar language on computer.

I have some small company websites (mostly Wordpress, 100-200 visitors a day with few dozens active email) on a single share host at DreamHost.

The cost is higher than some VPS. But their panel (and managed hosting service) is very nice and I have no apparent problems.

Although I might choose a DigitalOcean VPS to host new websites, I don't have immediate plan to move away existing websites from DreamHost share host.

Bias on the Rohigya issue - https://goo.gl/1h4vav

"Though the Rohingya armed groups carried out attacks on security forces and civilians on 9 October 2016 in which nine policemen were killed and on 25 August 2017 in which 30 police outposts were attacked leading to the death of 10 police officers, one soldier and one immigration officer, the [UN] Special Rapporteur Lee failed to name the Rohingya armed opposition groups."

The Truth About Myanmar’s Rohingya Issue - http://thediplomat.com/2016/03/the-truth-about-myanmars-rohi...

"On all issues, the people of Myanmar are with you. But on the Rohingya issue, the people will never be with you. What is at the heart of this huge gap between perspectives of the majority of Burmese and the international community, and how does this inform making progress on alleviating the genuine humanitarian crisis facing the Rakhine Muslims in Sittwe?"

"On the other side of the political tension in Rakhine state ... are Rakhine Buddhists who are genuinely afraid of a (false) Muslim takeover."

"For Aung San Suu Kyi to retain legitimacy where it matters most, it is understandable that she is not outspoken on an issue that could spark even more violence."
