      And if it doesn’t, they still can’t work. That’s not giving away IP, but they’re still fucked anyway.

      That’s exactly why companies poach people like this.

      Totally not because they are highly skilled engineers that can find other ways to solve the same problem.

      Everybody in the world is after Apple, so they’re completely justified in making sure engineers can’t work in their fields after working for them.

      It’s called knowledge, and it’s not fair to prevent people from using their knowledge.

      Apple already have their patents. That’s what patents are for! The startup can’t do exactly what Apple did, or they would be sued. The startup will have to use their knowledge to create NEW tech, and that’s an excellent result.
