Silicon Valley as a phenomenon is about network effects, so of course it's extremely difficult to reproduce. How do you reproduce the mid-century hacker culture leading to technical giants leading to VC money attraction leading to startup culture?

And in the meantime, those other places are at a disadvantage in that respect.
