This 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.

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 motivati…
I think that what really happened here is that you are upset because you found yourself arguing for a position that you can’t rationally and convincingly defend, which is a position that no one forced you to maintain in the first place. You should know that there’s also no joy in dealing with someone like that.
~$3.2B USD in processed transactions through stripe (so far). ~42M transactions. ~$92.8M for 2.9% fee. ~$12.6M for 30 cent fee. ~$105.4M just for processing transactions on a single day. Above assumes the “standard” pricing [1]. It’s not quite clear how much stripe takes from the 2.9% and 0.30 cut. Likely have to share this with card network and issuing bank. The invisible hand of traditional banking system taking mo…

Similar to the concept of “user as the product,” when data is made to look cool the purpose of the data is to attract attention, not be the object of attention. Is any person looking at that “live dashboard” as an actionable data source?
Competitors of stripe would, to set their own targets. Creditors of stripe can use it to get a general idea of whether they made any money to pay their loans with. Investors of stripe for the same purposes but in expectation of dividends or increase of market value of their equity. Academics for research, journalists for reportage… there are plenty of people out there other than design nerds.
In my experience, as much as you can distil it down to a simple number, we've aimed for 30-50 depending on capacity for risk.
Is 12% normal for stripe? Especially cautious knowing demand will spike this weekend? Feels pretty non-optimised, assuming their infra can scale quickly.
