If I were Stripe.com's legal counsel, I'd have already fired off a C&D. Stripe.ian.sh isn't trying to subvert traffic, but the entire point of this exercise is to show how it's possible to be confused for the real Stripe.com under certain circumstances. It's a fine line and if I were from the real Stripe I wouldn't want to let those sorts of grey areas go unchallenged.

Showing how someone could theoretically be confused is not the same as actually being confused. Consumers aren't confused by someone writing an article about a company... that's not trademark infringement. A trademark does not give you rights to prevent people from writing about your company.
