Sure, they made a good product and were ahead of their time, but software solutions for disparity maps are catching up. Light field arrays are very interesting science, and they definitely helped promote it, but as a business, well, they didn't treat their customers very well.

I make lenticular artwork and owned a Lytro Illum before. The company was quite hostile after ending support for the camera, and refused to open source the web player, which was the only way you could make use of the living photos features and refocusing.

It is sad, because the Illum was a very well designed product and worked quite well for certain things. Unfortunately, Lytro was better at product design than business, and making the best feature of a $1500+ camera non-functional permanently was definitely a dick move.

Having a frog on your account most definitely does not mean you are a Nazi, but yes, the identitarians do meme Pepes that are racist.

I am familiar with the author, he's a drama queen, but he's not incorrect there is a huge wave of antisemitism in the world. It's a daily battle. Ben Shapiro got a lot of racial abuse too, but its just part of living in a world with free speech.

Most antisemitism comes not from Nazi sympathizing identitarians, but Muslim extremists. It's a real problem in Europe, and it's good to discuss.

I really reject trying to delegitimize Trump supporters by throwing them all in with the alt-right. As a Jewish Kekistani, it infuriates me. I don't like identitarians, but they have a right to their views. I want everyone to be very clear on what terrible views they have so they don't get power. This sort of schlock in the NYT just makes things convoluted and people less likely to be able to discern who is friend, and who is foe.
