Managed to put my whole MBP on its knees. It took me around 7-8 minutes to close the tab. Proceed with caution.
We've just pushed bfcm.stripe.dev/lofi live. Should run with very little load on your MBP if you're still keen to poke around.

#132This is really cool. I saw someone share snippets behind the scenes when they were just making this!

There's a lot of online fraud. We invest a ton in Radar, our payment surfaces, etc., to keep this as invisible as possible to businesses. (We don't always succeed, of course. But, despite the growing sophistication of the fraudsters themselves, we do generally get better every year.)

The history of payments and banking is amazing. It’s always been a hard problem to solve, and the bankers who solved it always got paid handsomely for enabling commerce. In the old days everyone bartered. Then came shells. Then precious metals. The gold had to be literally shipped around. Everyone from the Roman to the British empire had to physically ship chests of gold to it’s soldiers. Cross border commerce was ab…
In the old days, even with the existence of precious metals and coin-based currency, a more community driven "help your neighbor" system thrived, moreso than a tit-for-tat system of exchange prevalent today or even theorized in the barter system. > The much-maligned banking sector is really a triumph of capitalism. Yes, the triumph of "what's in it for me".
You should indeed ask yourself that very question: what's in it for me?
Do you want to send little bits of gold and silver all around the world, or would you prefer modern banking? The choice is yours, pick the one that's best for you!

#136I find it pretty funny when designers have it in their mandate to make a number look as cool as possible. You see it on dashboards or all kinds of things like this. I think it would be a good design challenge. Make a decimal number look cool. No other constraints.
See, that’s a real problem with modern day design: it’s all about making things look cool instead of just no-bullshit functional.
Your emotional response to the ways things look and feel is a "function" as valid as a button or a slider. Actually, it's more functional in the digital ecosystsm where everything is a symbolic abstraction of light except for your emotional response to their meanings-- it's in fact the only real outcome of the design intent.
So if you see it as a problem and not a strength of modern visual design you are fully clueless, no offense.
"You… go to your closet, and you select… I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.
You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns, and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it?… who showed cerulean military jackets... And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin.
However, that blue represents millions of dollars of countless jobs, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of 'stuff.'"

The design isn't crashing their browser, the implementation of the design is. You could argue that the design is simply not implementable with current technology to serve the widest array of users (this is doubtful), and possibly Stripe's marketing team made a judgement that they just didn't care about that - but you seem to be laying quite a lot at a designer's door there. I would guess that they are prioritising st…
So what if it was a designer who acted on the whims of a marketing team? The criticism was directed at the design not at a person. Regardless of their intended audience the site is still representative of the point I wanted to make about modern day design. And no, not everyone is clicking on all the front page links of the same score (you included) so your argument is kinda weak and something must have caught your at…
My point was that it seems you are critiquing the design of the page as if it's purpose is to display sales data, and I was suggesting that it's purpose is not to display sales data, but actually to simply advertise Stripe. When judged by this outcome, the design is (arguably, it seems) more successful.
Regardless, I find no joy or purpose in talking to someone that tells me I'm incorrect when I tell them my motivations for doing something. It betrays a certain ignorance on your part. I think let's just leave the thread there. Have a good rest of your day.

Sadly those are almost certainly greenwashing bullshit. John Oliver did a piece on that. Also there was this guardian review that didn't find a single satisfactory project among 50. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/19/do-carbo...
How about direct air capture, is that also greenwashing? Shopify is simply waiting for the capture plants to go online: https://news.shopify.com/shopify-purchases-more-direct-air-c...
Yes, afaik, direct air capture currently is miniscule and when it is happening the co2 is sold on the market, where it replaces waste-product-co2, so in the end no co2 is actually removed from the atmosphere.
It's currently in research phase, marketing it as "you can offset your carbon emissions here" is lies.
We currently can't both consume like this and improve the outcome of global warming. The whole idea of black friday goes against such efforts. Attempts to market it otherwise, even if they were credible are greenwashing.

#139This reliably kills Firefox on Linux here. The whole browser. After a few seconds, during which the laptop fans are spinnung up, all tabs go into a "This tab just crashed" state.
Interesting. Firefox on Android handles it just fine for me.

Must be your PC. Works fine on my iPhone with FireFox
how are people so confidently wrong about stuff like this?
