corp | 15 years ago | on: How to build a tech startup outside of Silicon Valley

Agree. And the articles refers to other emerging tech entrpreneurship hubs (secondary markets) that make it possible to start a company and take advantage of the established ecosystems.

If you are not in a city where such ecosystem exists, you could probably start building a prototype there but as soon as you need to scale up (financially, hiring, or other) you will probably need to start networking or moving a city that has one.

corp | 15 years ago | on: "My new product idea will be stolen" - and a cure

I don't think he is saying that shipping a product will prevent others from copying... what he's saying is that shipping is the cure to overcome the fear of having others copying your idea.

Once you ship, it doesn't matter if others want to copy you, because you are already out there... there is nothing else to fear. It's your chance to execute faster and better than the others who were already there and the ones that join in (new competitors).
