Of course not, it just points out how California sucks in strange people and techies (and both) from around the world eg. my elder sister was raised and went to college on the east coast, but guess where she’s working now? Silicon Valley.
Yes, of course the Silicon Valley attracts CompSci professionals from all over the world, but the SI doesn’t employ them. Strange people you say? I’ve never been to San Francisco, but I’ve heard that it’s considered home to weirdos of every possible kind. Maybe that’s the people the SI panders to?
SI would never have gotten Thiel’s support, I suspect, if it had remained in Atlanta. Having gotten his support, it will not keep it by moving out of Silicon Valley. Having moved out of Silicon Valley, it will find it hard to find any more donors.
Well, I dunno. It’s not like Peter Thiel doesn’t know how to use the Internet or can’t afford flying. Facebook, for instance, was located in Massachusetts and only moved to the Silicon Valley in 2011.

All people who like SI are by definition out of the mainstream, but not all people out of the mainstream are whom SI ‘panders’ to.

How wasteful of them. Don’t they know they can just use the Internet to do this thing called ‘social networking’? There’s no reason for them to be in Silicon Valley. Hopefully their shareholders will do something about that.
