A court ruling struck down a Trump administration decision to take the animals off the endangered species list. Kashmir Hill, a technology reporter, tested out trackers by following her husband, above.Todd Heisler/The New York Times 7. Location trackers are now easy to use and affordable. Is that a problem? That’s the question our technology reporter, Kashmir Hill, sought to answer when she recently tested out a handful of trackers — by [following her husband around.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRj6W-tP0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wMi8xMS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FpcnRhZ3MtZ3BzLXN1cnZlaWxsYW5jZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjIwMjExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTUyOTQwJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTgyNDcxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpiBa3qBmI_ef6FUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) Though some of the trackers were more responsive than others, they all provided accurate feedback of specific locations where her husband was, even though he was unaware of where his wife had placed them. Designed mostly to find lost keys, or maybe a stolen car, makers of these devices like Apple and Tile say it’s wrong for them to be used as surveillance devices. But with the technology at anyone’s disposal, our reporter found that it wouldn’t take an expert to keep tabs on someone. The translator Jennifer Croft will no longer work with publishers who don’t put her name on the cover.Magdalena Wosinska for The New York Times 8. A translator has a message for the publishing industry: We matter. After spending years translating the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk’s novel “Flights,” Jennifer Croft was disappointed to discover that her name wasn’t on the cover. While it wasn’t atypical, she decided to make a stand for herself and her peers, declaring that [she would never do the work without credit again](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRj6W-tP0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wMi8xMS9ib29rcy9saXRlcmFyeS10cmFuc2xhdGlvbi10cmFuc2xhdG9ycy1qZW5uaWZlci1jcm9mdC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjIwMjExJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTUyOTQwJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTgyNDcxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpiBa3qBmI_ef6FUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Her statement resonated with many in the literary world, garnering support from prominent translators and notable writers. A few publishers have now begun naming all translators on book covers. Beyond receiving recognition, Croft believes that highlighting the translators brings more transparency to the process. Translation isn’t just a technical skill, but a creative act, she argues. “Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy” was directed by Clarence Simmons, left, and Chike Ozah.Rafael Rios for The New York Times 9. A documentary about the rise of Kanye West will finally be released after two decades. In the early 2000s, as Kanye West started his career as a nerdy Chicago beatmaker for Jay-Z, a camera followed him, collecting hundreds of hours of tape. Only now, after disputes were reconciled between the filmmakers and West, will that footage see the light of day. “Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy,” a three-part documentary on Netflix, examines his early years and more recent controversies, including a presidential run and mental health struggles.
