#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?

@AnimaAnandkumar just answered. But why google image ? because, as it stands, not everyone who speaks Ok english (for whom english is not their mother tongue ) knows this is a slang nor is aware of how offensive it is. These images used to definitely show up on Twitter.4 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

2/x Somehow I feel that a professional response to childish jokes is ignoring them and working on educating people to do better.

Dear @CsabaSzepesvari I would say that you have the ability to say that you can ignore this. Unfortunately for junior women that is not an option when it is used as a tool for harassment and they have no power to stop that

I don't want to ignore this. I am all for trying to protect those that need protection, and I say this with my whole heart and as a dad of two young ladies. I am just questioning the methods and where they may lead us.
