China obviously, there's not much they wouldn't just buy on domestic platforms using domestic payment services, but almost all of Asia is pretty dark on Shopify, compared to your map. I guess they're just not a thing there, plus maybe black friday itself. Also, the UK is disproportionately brighter on the Shopify map compared to the rest of Europe. Interestingly, light pollution seems pretty low in Germany compared t…

It was either night or very late evening in most of Asia when you wrote that comment.

Definitely a factor, but Japan and Hong Kong were going pretty strong compared to the rest, so there's at least that. Would've expected Taiwan to show up in a similar fashion, but also almost nothing there.

GBP and EUR volumes are pretty similar (just north of 500K atm). I find this interesting. How can one country equal sales of the whole Eurozone? Is that more showing of commerce activity or the popularity of Black Friday in those countries?

I'd guess a lot of shops in the Eurozone don't use shopify but locally-supplied competition.

Do you have any better criticism than that something is "cringe"? Otherwise this reads like something a teenager would write.

It's obviously utter nonsense. No serious and/or somewhat intelligent person could interpret said figure to have any useful meaning or need this explained to them. It's just plain bullshit.

So I take it you're not a serious or intelligent person if you can't describe what you find "cringe" about a "carbon removed" statistic. Perhaps you should ask yourself why such a simple statistic bothers you so much.

But, but... Rails doesn't scale!!!!!

The dashboard shows 25k orders per minute right now (~400/s). A modern server shouldn't even be close to 1% utilization to handle that.

Are you assuming that 1 order is one inbound request, one database transaction, and one outbound response? Because it isn't that. You need to integrate with address verification services, fraud detection, payment services, stock management, communications like email and alerting, telemetry, and more. It's all manageable and a lot of it can be queued, but it's still hard.

No carbon has been removed from anywhere. It's just made up. It's as simple as that.
