  • Why are fuel perks at grocery stores so ubiquitous?
  • People are weird about gasoline. They'll drive around looking for the cheapest option, to save 2 cents/gallon. Even with a huge tank, that's less than 50 cents of total savings.

    So a grocery store can offer, say, 10¢ savings, and it only actually costs them like $1.50-$2.00 per customer. That's way less than other sales that are harder to advertise and don't bring in the same amount of business.

    Ultimately the psychological benefit for the shopper is more than the financial cost to the store. The others societal costs don't come in to that equation.

  • Is it just a coincidence that Chromium and Firefox have similar version numbers?
  • It was going to be the 513, but we got an overflow error instead.

  • Is it just a coincidence that Chromium and Firefox have similar version numbers?
  • Backing this up with some history:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_version_history

    In March 2011, Mozilla presented plans to switch to a faster 16-week development cycle, similar to Google Chrome.

    Firefox 1.0 was in 2004, and it took until March 2011 to get to version 4.0. Then by the end of 2011, they were on version 9.
