Someone replying to you claims they had a conversation with you, is that true?

Thanks for writing this, fascinating.

Flagging this. Paging dang for a link change and a ban on letsenhance.io.

What's the problem with letsenhance.io? Honest question. I skimmed the article and didn't see anything off-putting.

Maybe the fact that they copy-pasted someone else's content. Someone worked hard on this article and that person is not properly credited for that work.

Oh, and stealing ad revenue from the original creator.

> Yes, it opens up a lot of possibilities for us today, but there is a hunch we're still trying to wave with hand-made wings instead of inventing a plane. One that will leave behind all these shutters, apertures, and Bayer filters.

> The beauty of the situation is that we can't even imagine today what it's going to be.

Hi Vas3k! My name is Kate and I am Head of Content at Let's Enhance. We are very thankful for the given material, because it's highly related to us. And I want to clarify this unpleasant situation: I've directly talked with the author of the article - Vas3k and asked for the permission to publish this awesome material. I can attach the screenshots of our conversation. All the copyrights are reserved. We mentioned you…

You've literally taken all the graphs, photos and most of the text.

>We mentioned you and your blog as the original source.

Just because you reference a work it doesn't mean it's not plagiarism when you straight up copy most of the content.

This article is completely, utterly wrong as soon as it starts talking about anything plenoptic. Please disregard after that point as there are serious factual errors, particularly regarding what Google did or didn't do with Lytro. (Source: I'm in the VR / plenoptic space, knew a bunch of people at Lytro, some of whom are now at Google. Timelines and facts do not match this article's assertions.)

So it is your word against the OP's. Why should we believe you more than the OP? Please present some facts and citations that we can verify ourselves. Appeal to authority is a fallacious form of argument.

The article on letsenhance.io is a rip off of the original here: https://vas3k.com/blog/computational_photography/

One problem is that you need to read through the entire article before you realize that the article is a copy of another article.

It is more appropriate to a preamble stating that the following images and text are directly copied from the original author.

Saying we are thankful for "given materials" is too vague (and probably offensive to the original author) when all the images, text, and even structure of the article is a copy.
