Depends on what you classify as relevant targets. All big hardware companies have been onboard since the begging and probably already have prototypes of fixed-function decoders. Chances are we'll have consumer hardware with such decoders sometime next year.
If you actually go on the AV1 spec issue tracker, there are issues (both closed and open) from people at Nvidia, ARM's hardware team, Google and Netflix.
This is truly incredible. I've spent the last 4 years neck deep in live video broadcasting solutions for consumer, commercial, and government use cases, and this just blew my mind.
Yeah, I think the latest and greatest in web standards for solving this problem would probably be using a Service Worker to transparently handle the failure and serve up a fallback... but like you said, that's a JavaScript-based solution.
Surprised by all the vitriol in this thread. Defold looks awesome. Maybe I just haven't tracked King closely enough in the past to have developed the community knee jerk reaction here, but this seems like a cool move.
> they’re getting equal pay for equal equal positions, education, and experience
While those are certainly relevant control factors, I would presume that any conclusions are premature without demonstrating a lack of bias in the actual positions men vs. women are promoted to, relative to their experience and education.
I.e., large disparities in salary by gender for "Software Engineer III" within the same organization are a bit hard to overlook, whereas there are often much fuzzier criteria involved in who has that title in the first place.
Not looking to necessarily refute the article, but the control factors themselves are still rather variable.

I'm wondering why the default assumption is that there is bias, and we're being expected to prove a negative here.
Probably because there have been thousands of studies done showing substantial bias in the amount male and female workers are paid.
No, some social-media guy at DICE looking at a spreadsheet and blithely assuring people (without data or methodology) that there's no bias in tech worker salaries is not sufficient to throw out the mountains of proper methodology, peer-reviewed studies that have been done.
I don't know ... have you wandered around the world and actually talked to real people about how they view gender?
Almost no one will assert they think men and women are exactly the same.
So if everyone starts from the presumption that there is some, poorly defined, somewhat-conscious, never agreed upon, but certainly real, difference between men and women ... a bias in treatment would be the default condition, and would probably require conscious effort and/or policy to overcome.
> a bias in treatment would be the default condition, and would probably require conscious effort and/or policy to overcome.
Ironically, people usually assume that the unequal treatment benefits men over women, and completely dismiss the reverse possibility, even though there's no rational reason for this :)
Maybe a priori in a vacuum, but most people are aware of the historical context where women just recently got the right to vote and attend university, and are still considered men's property in some parts of the world.
It's well acknowledged that men are discriminated against in some contexts, but yes, there is no serious debate that the sexism in our society overwhelmingly targets women, and there's a reason that the movement for equality between sexes is called "feminism".
> and there's a reason that the movement for equality between sexes is called "feminism".
Except you're going to have a hard time pointing to any of the places where feminism is fighting against this well-acknowledged discrimination against men.
...And that's fine! Really, it's okay to say "this is the movement for women's equality meeting here in this room, if you're interested in men's issues you're going to have to go somewhere else." The NAACP doesn't spend all its time fighting against anti-Semitism, after all, and that doesn't make the NAACP bad in any way. I don't understand the weird compulsion to try and crowd everyone else out of the gender equality mindspace.
I don't know if I would consider that a "default assumption", so much as being willing, in the absence of hard empirical data, to put some credibility into the glut of anecdotal evidence.
A prime example of handjamming inconsequential happenings into a good/bad/ugly blogpost format. If this is what counts as "the ugly", they're doing pretty dang good.
That's an interesting assessment. I've actually been generally impressed with it. Loads fast, seems to be pretty intelligent about caching profile images and the like, and is generally pretty responsive (on a Galaxy S5). It is pretty handsy with the permissions, though.
I think the key to our different experiences is that you're on a pretty high-end phone. The real issues with the app become more apparent the lower-end device you have.
For example, I used to have a phone with only 1gb of internal storage, on which Facebook took over 200mb on its own (far more than basically any other app). It's pretty clear that whatever the devs are doing in regard to space usage, they're doing it incorrectly.
So far I gather that the expressjs.com domain, the GitHub repo, and the npm module were transferred to StrongLoop's control. I don't believe that Express is actually trademarked (and likely isn't trademarkable at all, being such a common dictionary word).
Note: I previously posted this to the wrong category and was advised to post here instead.
Stre.am is a free app for broadcasting live video from your phone, with an emphasis on simplicity. We previously launched the iOS version, but as an Android user myself, I'm particularly excited about getting Android out the door now as well.
The app itself is designed to be as self-explanatory as possible, but the general idea is to sign up, hit the green record button, and your video shows up on stre.am with as minimal of a delay as possible.
From a technology perspective, the mobile clients are 100% native, and the backend services use a combination of Node.js+Express (web), Java+Play (api), and Scala+Akka (video transcoding/streaming infrastructure). I'd be happy to answer any questions on that front.
