No knock on Calibri, which I admire.

You can see for yourself. They certainly would not have used Times New Roman.

So, basically, Google learned from the data, improved the algorithm, and they are blamed for not having done that before the earthquake.
The headline makes it sound like Google had the good model before, and something went wrong in the notification system so nobody got the alert.
Except they don't even see that far, since not even neighboring New Jersey seems to be in view.
There is a mountain of evidence that the drug cheating was systematic. You can read The Secret Race, or draw your own conclusions from the $5 million false claims act settlement.
