Shopify has a similar dashboard as well: https://bfcm.shopify.com
Anyone know how to peek at the data?

12% of the money is suspected fraudulent, not the transactions, right? So could be that fraudulent transactions are a smaller volume of the total transactions, but they simply tend to be higher in terms of dollar amount.
Fraud is typically very small dollar amounts used to test the card. Partially to try to go unnoticed but also to leave as much of the limit available as possible for intended purchases later.
Fraud happens across all transaction amounts, what do you think people use the cards for once they buy or guess a valid card?
Total transactions: $41M Blocked fraudulent: $4.8M So that’s nearly 12% of the transactions suspected fraudulent - that’s nuts
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.)

That’s not a dichotomy. In virtually all of design function is a prerequisite to prioritizing form, otherwise what you’re building might not even be possible and so you might not even be creating design but just art.

I’m sorry but you’re not as clever as you think, and your reasoning signals that you’re not known as a good communicator or collaborator in your organization.

Your first sentence is exactly what it means to think in terms of form over function. There is exactly nothing unique about the 80s pixellated design but there is about the data being presented, which is actually valuable to many possible parties: * competitors * creditors * investors * employees * academics * journalists * policymakers in financial services The design is not valuable to anyone, even to those who hav…
All of this may be true, but Stripe's intention with building this is obvious: It's marketing; it's an advertisement showing how much volume Stripe handles during a busy shopping period. A big hint that it's an ad is that the Stripe API Uptime is not only on the first page of the stats, but is the only thing colored green . It's showing that Stripe is easily handling this crazy load, and it's only 13% (right now) of…

Who do you think are the customers of Stripe’s API? Are those people going to make business decisions on the basis of theatrics, or does pragmatism, performance, and stability matter more?

Have the same issue here, with Ryzen 4700U + 16 GB RAM. Are you saying that it is not enough for generic browsing at the end of 2023?
Which OS are you running and which browser? We've optimized for many common browsers/OS combos but have clearly missed yours (nothing to do with your specs).
Runs really slow in firefox.

> Direct air capture is literally removing carbon from the atmosphere, regardless of what's done with the carbon afterwards Regardless of what’s done afterwards? Sure, if we arbitrarily decide to ignore the full effects of any system we can make all sorts of fanciful claims. That’s not exactly useful, though.
My point was that Shopify is removing carbon from the atmosphere with their DACs. It’s not their fault if someone then purchases that carbon they removed and decides to shoot it straight back into the atmosphere, or whatever it is you’re concerned about, assuming just anyone can even purchase Shopify’s removed carbon. I suppose we can’t be satisfied until Shopify finds a way to remove the carbon and then ship it off…

Eh, your argument doesn’t really involve thinking and banks purely on semantics, which you are making arbitrarily strict and according to your personal preference. In practice, “just no-bullshit functional” as in my first comment doesn’t mean absolute neglect of form.
