Researchers Are Sorry They Used 'Derpy' in a Research Paper. Much like the universally true advice to “never tweet,” it’s probably a good idea to just avoid internet language and memes when you’re working in a professional capacity.

Two well- intentioned researchers learned that the hard way recently when they didn’t do enough research on the term “derpy.”In April of 2. Angela Willey and Banu Subramaniam published a paper in Archives of Sexual Behavior that was titled, Fighting the Derpy Science of Sexuality. The paper was a response to a proposal by Sari M. Anders, and the two researchers argued against the notion that science can provide biological evidence of differences between human groups: The various sciences of ‘‘difference’’ – sex, gender, race, class, sexuality, nationality – where studies that claim evidence for biological differences between two groups often make the cover stories in scientific journals and popular magazines.

In- group variation rarely leads to a re- consideration of a priori categories and studies with negative results do not get the same space, in journals or in the press… biological research marches on in its derpy ways. The authors of the paper understood “derpy” to mean one thing, and they later found out that it has different uses that aren’t so great. Van Anders shot back with a piece that criticized the use of the word because it is an “ablist slur.” In their apology, the authors say: The word “derpy” was introduced to us as a pop- cultural term that meant believing in something despite the fact that it has been disproven. A provocative notion, given that our aim was to suggest that while queer theory has effectively undone “sexuality” as a concept, empirical research (even thoughtful, feminist sexual science) persists as if the complexity of sexuality is ultimately map- able and as if the right set of variables will resolve the epistemological differences of critical theory and neuroscience once and for all.

As that long second sentence shows, academic papers are filled with dense language. The authors pulled a sort of “how do you do, fellow kids,” by throwing in some new slang. The problem with memes and language that starts on the internet is that it’s always changing. Pepe the Frog went from being a cartoon frog that was shapable for various meme purposes, to being one of the most recognizable symbols of the alt- right and white supremacy. Likewise, “derp” has changed meanings over time. Watch Loserville Streaming.

The Oxford Living Dictionary defines it as a noun meaning “foolishness or stupidity.” But there are variations like “merpy derp” which Urban Dictionary defines as “a word used when a fucking idiot is speaking.” Other variations, like derp face, is defined on the website with offensive ablist language that associates a facial expression that “often involves eyes turned in different directions and a stupid smile” with people with disabilities. This offensive meaning for derp has pretty much taken over the word’s usage and anyone who uses it without that intention runs the risk of being misunderstood. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic reinforced the association between derpy and language mocking people with disabilities when it controversially renamed a character previously called “Derpy” that was clumsy and had crossed eyes. Fan boys petitioned to “save Derpy,” failed, and the term officially became part of the war on “politically correct” language. Another key mistake made by the researchers was to let New York Times columnist Paul Krugman define internet slang for them. The original paper quoted a column from Krugman in which he claimed: “Derp” is a term borrowed from the cartoon “South Park” that has achieved wide currency among people I talk to, because it’s useful shorthand for an all- too- obvious feature of the modern intellectual landscape: people who keep saying the same thing no matter how much evidence accumulates that it’s completely wrong.

As it turns out, the term ‘derpy’ has also been appropriated as an ablist slur,” the researchers write in their apology. We regret our negligence in not figuring that out before the Commentary was published.” They also recognize the tragic irony of the use of a term that “is deeply implicated in ablist white supremacist legacies of the science of intelligence,” the very science that they were critiquing. Yeah, just leave the internet language out of your professional work entirely. The web is a horrible place and people will always ruin everything.[Springer via Discover Magazine].

A Hacker's Guide to Protecting Your Privacy While Dating. Love makes people do dumb stuff. But there are practical, easy steps we can take to maintain our privacy during romantic relationships, and changing one simple behavior now could keep us safe later on if the relationship ends badly. While plenty of the tens of thousands of hackers who descend on Las Vegas every year for the security conference DEF CON are there to break shit, lots of them are there to play defense, too. Lauren Rucker, a risk analyst who has consulted for NASA, coached attendees on maintaining their privacy rights during relationships.

If you’re living with someone or in a relationship or a marriage with someone, you are giving up a lot of your privacy rights because you’re sharing a lot with that person anyway,” Rucker said. Rucker recommends several basic steps for cyber hygiene while dating: 1. Don’t share your passwords or devices. Staying safe in relationships requires setting new norms of behavior before the relationship turns sour, Rucker says. Many people share their Netflix or Amazon passwords with their partners, but doing so can cause legal entanglements later. Courts have sometimes viewed all passwords as equal, faulting a victim whose partner hacked her Facebook because she had shared an Amazon password with him. The court questioned whether one password could be considered private, given that she had shared other accounts, Rucker explained.

If you share an i. Cloud account and you’re sharing pictures that way, you’re sharing accounts in the eyes of the court,” Rucker said. Sharing devices can also weaken your privacy rights if you end up in court. You don’t necessarily know how things will end and how they might go bad,” Rucker said.

Password- protect your laptop and encrypt your hard drive to make sure your data is safe. If you want to allow your partner to use your laptop, set up a separate account for them rather than letting them log into yours. Set up a Google Voice number to use for first dates.

Most of us have gone on dates with strangers from the internet at some point. But even if you met your date IRL, it’s a good idea to give them a Google Voice number when you start chatting, Rucker says. Google Voice lets users generate phone numbers for free and use them to set up other secure chat services like Whats.

App or Signal. A user can easily turn off her Google Voice number and get a new one if her date turns out to be a creep—and she won’t have to go to the trouble of changing her real number and redistributing it to all her friends. Use a VPN on shared Wi- Fi networks, including your home network. Abusive spouses have been known to surveil their partners’ online activity. While spouseware–malware that sneakily harvests geolocation, texts, calls, and other information—is an issue, Rucker notes that abusive partners might also track what their significant other is doing on a shared home Wi- Fi network. Using a VPN at home can help keep browsing data private. If you’re going to make a sex tape, do it consensually and privately. We’ve all heard stories of bitter exes leaking nude photos to get revenge on a partner.

But that won’t necessarily discourage people from taking nudes. Still, couples can make decisions that will help them preserve their privacy rights down the road, Rucker explained. She cites the example of a 2. A New Jersey court found that the man did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the home office because the space was shared with the family.

However, other courts have said that couples have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the bedroom and protected women who have been non- consensually filmed there by their partners. Picking the proper venue can protect you, Rucker explains.

If the area is visited by multiple parties, it’s probably not a private place; it’s not going to hold up in court,” she said.
