The official death toll due to Israel’s war on Palestinians in Gaza significantly increased on 3 February, after the Gaza Health Ministry added the 14,222 Palestinians estimated missing under the rubble.

The ministry now reports that 61,709 people, including over 17,000 children, have been killed since the start of the war.

[...]

Since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect on 19 January, the Gaza civil defense has been able to recover additional bodies, including 18 on Monday, adding to the confirmed death toll.

The Health Ministry's estimate of nearly 62,000 dead is in line with an estimate of the death toll published earlier this month by the Lancet medical journal. It estimated that the death toll in Gaza during the first nine months of Israel's genocidal war on the strip was around 40 percent higher than recorded by the Health Ministry.

A global ban on chewing it was implemented through the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in 1964, leaving coca under such a restrictive drug control regime that researchers even today often find it impossible to source the understudied leaves.

Similar paternalistic calls would attempt to justify the later global drug war. But 75 years on from the UN’s first diktats on coca, the organization’s health authority is set to publish its “critical” health review of the evidence underpinning the Schedule I status of the mildly stimulating, medicinal plant—rich in calcium and iron—after requests from Bolivia and Colombia to end its international prohibition.

Indigenous advocates have been prominent in building momentum for those countries—coca is already legal in Bolivia; in Colombia, consumption is only permitted within Indigenous communities—to make that request. “This is a David and Goliath battle against colonialism,” David Curtidor, director of indigenous-owned coca beer company Coca Nasa, told the Times of London in September. “We’re saying enough is enough.”

But change may be on the horizon. The WHO review could potentially lead the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs to recommend a reduction in the classification of coca, from which both cocaine and Coca-Cola derive key ingredients, under drug control treaties—or even decriminalization.

Is it feasible to self host websites for small businesses? I'm trying to do some research on the amount of infrastructure and stuff you have to know from a security standpoint... I'm fine with building and hosting stuff locally for me but I'm tempted to move to hosting some of my business sites as well.

Does anyone have experience and can give me some advice one way or the other?

Summary

Google has revised its AI Principles, removing commitments not to pursue weapons, surveillance systems, or technologies that undermine human rights.

The company cites the widespread use of AI, evolving standards, and geopolitical battles over AI as reasons for the overhaul.

The revision follows a broader corporate shift since Trump’s return to office, though Google claims the update was long planned.
