I read the concept of 'hate speech' was invented after the Seargent's Affair. The British public was incensed at Jews after the murder of four British soldiers in Palestine, so the powerful Jewish lobby in Britain agitated that one shouldn't be able to target "religious" groups. These posts are mostly trash, since Jews have a huge animosity towards the West which they call Edom and Christianity in particular, as they consider it the source of anti-semitism, but we never see posts about that on the orange site.

I tried to use this library to process nutrition labels for a fitness app. Sometimes took 40 seconds to process, which is unacceptable for a phone app. I remember seeing a video where a google product used a neural net and resolved the same info in 1 sec or so.

Hate speech regulation is a political tool, so you can't separate them.

Our IronBank (lending), IronSwap (pegged assets-focused swap) have been developed already and will be live for testing soon. Iron stablecoin v2 will come later.

They certainly get better mortgage rates than their middle-class competitors or maybe they just buy it outright which would save $100k's in the long-run.
