We want to start new Web-base project.We need to provide interaction with devices services such as Calendar, Contacts, Camera, etc.(Possibly with upnp)
In a real project from Silverlight and HTML5 which one is a better choice?
Why?

For sake of simplicity I would use Silverlight. It is much easier to access a USB Webcamera via Silverlight over HTML5. On the flip side if your using an IP camera I would go with HTML5.
It's honestly up to you. I would go with whichever framework you are more familiar with. But keep in mine whatever you can do in HTML5 you CAN do (and more) in Silverlight. Silverlight has more power than HTML5 because you get all the HTML features as well as the Silverlight features. In HTML you only get HTML

Many years ago, we built a live streaming application with Flash Media Server. Meanwhile, Flash got obsolete and we'd like to upgrade to a HTML5 solution.
Although I have found some answers on SO, but they seem a bit old.
Therefore, I wonder what is a good combo for video+audio live streaming nowadays (July 2017)?
The requirements are pretty simple: one broadcaster and many viewers (100+) that are using various modern browsers (IE11+, Edge, Firefox, Chrome). Ideally, we'd like to use a open-source solution.
On the wire I'd put DASH and HLS with AVC/AAC and then use HTML/JavaScript players. You can get a reference player here: http://dashif.org/reference/players/javascript/nightly/dash.js/samples/dash-if-reference-player/index.html
As far as servers - I'd try http://red5.org/
For authoring your live stream I'd try: https://obsproject.com/

Some time back I used Android studio's UI designer. I liked it a lot since it allows drag and drop of components like buttons/inputs/widget. More importantly,
we can edit the properties of existing UI component like ID/Size/Visibility using its UI pane(see right of the image). This reduces the changes of errors because we dont need to edit it directly into XML file. Also its quite fast.
I am now working now on an web application and need to design HTML page. Could you suggest any software which provides any of the two feature mentioned above for HTML.
Thanks

Mobirise
Bootstrap Studio
Square Space
Wix
Idk about desktop apps, But since adobe is always perfect, I think DreamWeaver will surely support that.

I am looking for some king of framework or library for styling web app to have a look of Windows application. I googled with no success, however I know at least one exists, because I had seen it long time ago. But now I can't recall its name or where to find it.
Is there a HTML/CSS library that would make my web app look like a Windows app ?
Please don't suggest jQuery UI or similar, because it's very far from what I am looking for (regarding UI design).
Check out Metro UI, a "front-end framework for developing projects on the web in Windows Metro Style": https://metroui.org.ua/.
The source code is also available from Github, here: https://github.com/olton/Metro-UI-CSS.
Metro UI provides typographic styles and UI components such as application bars and keypads that have a strong correlation to the Microsoft's "Metro" interface, introduced in Windows 8. Metro UI is an excellent choice if you want to design a web-based app that has a similar look-and-feel to a native Windows 8 app.
Metro UI uses extended CSS syntax (Less) and is MIT licensed.

I'm currently tasked with making some digital signage, which will display an agenda of sorts for an event in a table format, along with some header and footer graphics. I'm trying to make my decision to use either html5 or flash, however I don't have much experience with digital signage, so I was hoping for some input. My main concern is how html5 will rescale vs flash on different screen sizes. Thanks!
I recomend that you use HTML5, even though to me, flash seems more powerfull, HTML5 is very practical and very easy to rescale, i think your decision depends of your experience with these diferent digital signages.
I use flash, but only because i can't choose!
I also work for a digital signage company and have built many projects in both Flash and HTML5 and I would always go with HTML5. Support for Flash isn't as strong as it once was and you can do everything in HTML5 that you could have done in Flash. Rescaling in HTML isn't much a concern if you use modern HTML development and code the pages using Responsive Web Design.

I'm a bit fed up with the current navigator (TomTom) as it turned to adware after six months of use. "Please buy new maps at www.tomtom.com, click this button to see what you wanted to do".
Is there any (good) OSS navigation software with support for proprietary hardware? I'm perfectly happy to purchase separate maps and hardware for the software as long as I don't have to give my money to TomTom or Navigon.
You should check Routing using Open Street Map.
Although it is not OSS, Waze is a crowdsourced navigation app that does some of the things you mentioned. It allows users to post improved routes when the navigation algorithm doesn't find the best route. I have not used the app, so I don't know if it has the other improvements on usability that you mentioned in your first comment. They are a new app, so maybe would be more responsive to UI suggestions than TomTom or Navigon.
