- qarl 11y agoYes. That was back in September. Before Pikazo or Deepart even existed. Let's refrain from making nasty implications about each other, shall we? Thank you.
- kidzik 11y agoNo nasty implications sounds fair to me. Good luck!
- qarl 11y agoOk good. Would you also mind retracting your claim below that we have "misappropriated" your technology? Perhaps we're having a language problem - "misappropriate" is a crime in English. If you honestly believe a crime has been committed, I would strongly urge you to discuss it with us (somewhere other than this public forum). We've tried a few times now to reach out to your team, and have not heard back. Thank you. K.

- kidzik 11y agoI am sorry, I didn't mean any legal accusation - it just feels a little odd that the description of the app sounds as if you invented the technology without ever referring to the original work.
- qarl 11y agoYeah - I think you're right - that's a fair complaint. In the original description I had a link to the paper - but somehow that got lost in the versioning. I'm traveling right now, give me a couple days to fix that.
