Hawaii is an archipelago and in the past 30 years has gotten really crowded. Even as a tourist attraction it's not that enjoyable anymore and it's fucking expensive. I'd only go there if I also had a lot of astronomy experience to go with comp sci and they offered truckloads of cash. If you want tropical and inexpensive try Florida but be wary of the gators. There are also some nice up and coming spots in North Carolina which has an area called Research Triangle Park, where a lot of legacy tech companies do some business.

For FL be sure to check demographics, there are some enclaves of shit.

Crime is high in certain areas - parts of Honolulu, any place where there is a high concentration of polynesian hawaiians.
The polynesian hawaiians are the island's niggers.
No tech scene. Just tourism.
No academic culture. Having a brain is considered bad there.
Taxes are high. State strongly supports welfare programs.

I have been summoned to this thread as resident island nigger.
Realistically, you should expect to have a hard time.
http://www.city-data.com/forum/hawaii/. Read everything here. There is much honest discussion here from locals about the realities of living in Hawaii.
Now for your questions:
Crime
In general, Hawaii is a low crime place compared to most places in the US. We have a lot of petty theft and domestic violence but not so much random murders and muggings. Meth was introduced by the military and has been a serious community issue ever since. Homelessness is also a big problem here.
niggers
Hawaii is majority Asian and so you will be entering a situation where you as a white are nigger tier until proven otherwise. People in hawaii are openly racist and racial. They have no problem telling you that you aren't welcome and they think you should go home. They fully expect you to assimilate. Hawaii does have a significant population of whites on some islands but they are culturally diverse and you might not find the racial camaraderie you expect. As far as nigger niggers, Hawaii is 1% black but we got Micronesians by the thousands and they cause all the problems that traditional niggers do but somehow manage to be dumber. Polynesians (including native Hawaiians) are more of a mixed bag. They are generally as intelligent as whites but not as motivated and have different ideals of progress. Separatist aren't as prominent as the media pretends.
tech scene
Non existent. Unless you are capable of being self employed you probably will not stable work in your field. If you do find such a job, plenty of east Asians already to outcompete you.
academic culture
Not as liberal as the mainland. Colleges are currently downsizing. High schools desperately need teachers but Hawaii public schools are shit. If you can accept a modest life, you could probably make it with a charter school in a rural community. However, culture shock will still come into play.
In general, we recommend anyone that is thinking of moving to Hawaii to vacation for many months in different communities and have many months of savings. Most people that try to move here fail and go home broke after a year or two.
Ask me any question you want

They hate whites, so if you are a white male take that into account.
