Maybe her profile has been changed now but it's only showing that she's following Stanford and in a Stanford group - There's nothing in the experience and education sections at all.

In Google+ it says "attended Stanford University" https://plus.google.com/109990231058522395347/posts https://plus.google.com/109990231058522395347/posts (so maybe a Stanford dropout?).

  Obiously, the letter mentions that she had "not yet" a degree. So, i think it's likely she dropped out or sort of paused her studies, whatever...

    It seems like she claimed that she had both a Bachelors and Masters degree from Stanford when indeed she did not have both. Can she be pursuing a Master's degree when she had not completed a Bachelors?

      Both of those things are false (she said as much in the deposition), but "attended Stanford" could mean that she dropped out before going for a Bachelor's degree, so may not be a lie.

      I can't speak for Stanford, but I pursued a BS and MS simultaneously at Cal Poly. Cal Poly's computer science department has a 4+1 program that lets you start taking graduate courses while you're finishing your undergraduate degree. The program also drops the senior project requirement for the BS and combines it with the master's thesis required for the MS.

      If she were a Stanford student, she could have been in the coterminal BS/MS program for Comp Sci yet dropped out before getting either. The nice thing about the coterm program is your ability to get classified as a grad student early (once you get 180 credits) and start paying your way through college using research and teaching assistantships, which provide tuition and stipend.

    Hey, maybe she's still trying to pass CS106X. That's a tough one, give her a break!

  Google+ not being actively maintained by someone? I'm shocked I tell you...

It seems I didn't look thoroughly. "Stanford Alumni" was listed in one of her groups, and Stanford itself was listed in the "follow" section on her page - sorry, you're right!

independent of the facts, shall we not start doxing individuals here? this isn't 4chan.
- SideburnsOfDoom 12y ago
  Does finding a public linkedin profile count as doxing? I don't know much about the topic, but I was under the impression that there was more to it than that. it was a black-hat hacker thing, that it involved getting past some kind of access control.
  - zamalek 12y ago
    This definitely isn't doxing. Doxing is when you find very personal information, such as place of residence. In can involve information about the workspace, Linked-in profile or so forth - but only in the case that the victim is operating under a pseudonym and have not disclosed their true identity themselves.

  This isn't doxxing. Doxxing would be if we posted her address, po box, mailing address, etc. What we are doing here is calling someone out on their bullshit in a public profile.
- davesque 12y ago
  Why are you down-voting this person? They are not trolling. They're only advising a little restraint. Honestly, calling this doxing is pretty accurate. Before that user posted her LinkedIn profile, she was an anonymous figure in this dispute which, frankly, was all that was relevant to HN. Now, through LinkedIn, she will potentially receive hate mail and, with an identifying image, is more likely to be pinpointed on other platforms which may reveal more personal information about her. People should remember that there is a lot about this situation that they don't know. This man who was fired from Amazon may have a legitimate grievance and he may not. Things might look one way when described on paper, but could have seemed quite different in real life. We could be (and probably are) missing out on a lot of important details that only eye-witnesses could be aware of.
