This is stupid. It will simply reflect the average number of people who have the internet per state.

This comment is foolish; it reflects a lack of understanding that reading, let alone engaging in HN, is not evenly distributed across all demographics with internet access.

Anyone in Knoxville? :) I knew California would be pretty high up there because of SV but I didn't realize so many people on here live there. For people who are in CA, do you live there because that's where most of the tech start-ups are or because it's a nice place (or both)?

Parents moved here in the 70s to join tech. I was born here, and seem to gravitate back home even when I leave for a few years.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I moved here because I'm in love with San Francisco (and really hated Florida, where I lived before), plus I work in the tech industry. I'd still want to live here even if I wasn't involved in tech.

Why did you hate FL?

I'm guessing this guy was really bad PR : https://twitter.com/_FloridaMan

Keep in mind that California has two tech hubs (Silicon Valley and San Diego), plus a large city in Los Angeles.
