Techies are fed up with stupid laws and regulations and want to separate Silicon Valley from California state.

a state or a state?
Rep Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=381041
If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

Silicon Valley gains nothing by staying within a bankrupt state such as California. The residents are taxed to their death and there is hardly any support from the state authorities. So this will be a good move.

Is there any precedent for "new state creation" in the US?

I believe it'd be illegal under Article 4 of the US Constitution. Maybe California could formally renounce their claim on Silicon Valley (which I don't know if is explicitly illegal), then have Silicon Valley petition for incorporation as a state or territory.
