Total transactions: $41M Blocked fraudulent: $4.8M So that’s nearly 12% of the transactions suspected fraudulent - that’s nuts

Frauds even higher than that.

That doesn’t count the fraud the issuer also blocks.

See, that’s a real problem with modern day design: it’s all about making things look cool instead of just no-bullshit functional.

The problem that people make quick judgements based on appearance is not modern. I also would like to just make things functional and have people quickly see the value, but unfortunately we're stuck with the need to also make things look cool.

Actually it took a while to make that judgment because the numbers took a while to show up

this is so cool lol

It does look cool, but I do find the 'Carbon removed' ticker slightly misleading. In what way does this reflect carbon removed? Surely carbon added to the atmosphere is broadly proportional to the total value of sales.

If I'm not mistaken then this refers to transactions done using Shop Pay which will "remove carbon from the air".

Pretty sure no one outside of stripe has any use of real time revenue for only one day on an aggregated level. Doesnt have to be functional because people dont really "use" it. It is just for fun

Doesn’t matter if it’s for fun. The function here is to show information so in that regard the design failed because it makes you go through hoops irrelevant to the goal

False dichotomy, this an advertisement, would it be on the front page if it was just bare HTML instead of a pander-to-your-audience retro look? Good design can establish identity without totally ruining the UX.

Lots of important info get posted in HN everyday without the fancy design that takes a lot of clicks and waiting times, so how could you assume it won’t make it to the front page? This is why people need to stop using the “false dichotomy” card in every discussion. It’s so devoid of rigor in thinking and is always used lazily to frame another person’s comment in a paradigm that it wasn’t intended to be framed.

Have you considered that the design is more important than the data in this context? I mean, I sure don't care worth a damn whether there are 100, 1000, or 10000 orders being placed per second. It's a meaningless figure to me.

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.
