#ProtestNIPS I am starting this new hashtag. Please retweet if you are in support of @NipsConference changing its name. Looking for ideas on how to wear protest on our sleeves/carry signs throughout the conference. Ideas? We can't let the board get away with this shoddy treatment

In french a "bit" (used everyday in the computing world) means a dick, should it be changed as well?

when was the last time you searched for "bit" on Google image and got images of dicks ? Now try "nips", you'll understand.

Interesting.. I was curious, so I logged out from my account (otherwise google knows that I am looking for http://nips.cc ) and this is what I got. The bottom of the page was similar. Is google still biasing my search results in some way? What do other people get?pic.twitter.com/kZHt9Vf4uP

Oh, you meant image search? Sure. Why would you search for the conference using image search?

I have read it, but apparently was not sufficiently attentive. Sorry. Regarding the name change, I have mixed feelings. Changing the name seems like treating the symptom and not the disease. We should all work together on the latter.

Changing the name is a start and definitely not the end. You are right there are deeper issues. The bullying and toxic behavior over something innocuous shows how far we have to go
