I'm putting on my tin-hat now!
I met/had a similar experience with Google ATAP in 2013 (was Motorala ATAP then; Google recently bought them) though not for a job interview but to discuss working together to build our tech SpeakerBlast into the Moto X. They asked if we ever thought about selling our technology to them before the meeting and at the meeting they baited us for how our tech worked saying we'd like to work with you tell us how it works.…
This is a level of douchiness I cannot fathom. What possesses these people to act in this fashion and how do they sleep at night? How is this not seen as clearly unethical behavior? A clear violation of Wheaton's Law, here. I mean... I could easily take that lollipop from that naïve baby in that baby carriage... but I don't, simply because I'm Not A Dick™. Did all of Silicon Valley get the wrong takeaway from the App…
It is very simple, they only care about themselves. Everything else is irrelevant.

I think you were unfortunately downvoted. I think you're mostly accurate, but I think all sciences at the undergrad level don't teach how to do science. They teach about science. Yes, I know that there are labs, but that's rarely the emphasis. A physics and chemistry student is mostly learning things that other people have discovered and figured out. It's not until the graduate level that someone actually starts doin…
A physics or chemistry student is learning about empiricism on lab courses, and about how other scientists came-out with their advances. But more importantly, they are mostly studying science itself, not how use it to create practical stuff.

Also for repeatedly posting flamebait and ignoring our requests to stop.

This is (one of the reasons) why you sign NDAs before discussing your technology.
Useless. Savvy inventors get at least a provisional patent application on file before meeting with predatory companies like goog, ms, intel, etc.

Not just software patents. All patents. What makes software industry so special?
Software is also protected by copyright.
Copyright pales in comparison to the protection afforded by a patent.
Headline says “Company”. Article says “Google”. Is this being softened in Google's favor?

> (even though the particulars on how it's possible to not be zero-sum still escape me and hurt my head). If I have a hamburger patty and a hot dog bun, and you have a hot dog bun and a hamburger patty, we both win if we trade (it's not zero-sum). You can generalize this across more than one party and more than two goods pretty easily.
Assuming no caloric difference between the buns and between the meats, the perceived increase in value is purely aesthetic/intangible though!
