<p>NYS typically ranks 1-10 in states for education. NYC is a big portion of that ranking. Would not be so quick to call NYC education poor. There are pockets of badness but the overall picture isn't bad. I know plenty of people making 7 figures that send their kids to public school in NYC.</p>

<p>Yes, something seems off. Wonder if "Parking" got lumped into "Garage"?<p>Type of Building. List of values:
1000 = Parking
1001 = Gas Station Canopy
1002 = Storage Tank
1003 = Placeholder (triangle for permitted bldg)
1004 = Auxiliary Structure (non-addressable, not garage)
1005 = Temporary Structure (e.g. construction trailer)
1006 = Cantilevered Building
2100 = Building
2110 = Skybridge
5100 = Building Under Construction
5110 = Garage</p>

<p>That isn't "sabotage". Those are export restrictions.<p>China also runs adverse competitive industrial policies (e.g., industrial spying, flooding markets). Not making value judgment here.<p>You have quite the post history BTW.</p>

<p>FWIW, what you will see at times in the HF world is a firm will want to get into a strategy and build competing teams. It lights a fire under both. It diversifies the risk. You can select winner and move some people over from loser. And if they both work, they both work.<p>It isn't a crazy idea if the opportunity is large enough to make the larger investment required worth it.<p>The problem I see in applying this to products is it can be very confusing for clients.</p>

<p>Perhaps if an ETF holds similar underlying instruments. It is unlikely this impacts Blackrock more broadly or other unrelated ETFs.<p>Stepping back, the idea with private credit was to move a lot of lending and credit risk taking away from the banks. Because if the bank fails, then it causes risk to the financial system. If a private credit fund does badly, you have sad investors. But the broader financial system is not imperiled.<p>And there will always be periods where credit does badly. It is the nature of these markets and lending.<p>TBC, I think the private credit guys got over their skis over the last 5 years and we'll see some sad investors in the next few years.</p>

<p>I'm a long way from embedded development. But I was under the impression a lot of microcontrollers these days have some ID capability built in, even some relatively low-end ones. This strikes me more as laziness than anything.</p>
