Looks nearly identical to Helvetica when I switch back and forth with inspector tool. Some letters are different and there’s some kerning changes but large parts look the same. at least to my untrained eye

You’re absolutely right. My rational brain agrees and chalks it up to poor project management. However… emotions run high when you have zero idea why something isn’t working and the process of elimination is pretty taxing. So the point for me is venting / maybe someone will read this and remember to write their node version down!

I’m curious, how do you measure the pulse of a project that old? Do people still talk about it? Or that not even necessary — use it until it breaks and otherwise don’t think about it?

Wow, that’s honestly impressive.

If there was an option to guarantee versions could exist for X amount of years (maybe even months?) then that would greatly help the stability of projects.

Let's see:

  * uses a mix of sources from different years
  * a lot of guesses eg. arbitrary calculation with international students and Jewish SAT scores
  * Uses Mean SAT Scores nationally, not from Ivies
  * "This guaranteed to not unfairly over- or under-count any demographic" lol
  * Commentary makes conclusions about entrance based solely on SAT scores despite that not being anywhere near the full picture of an application
