I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not...
the fact that his username is INTPenis ... doesn't quite elucidate it either, actually.

You say this as if 75% of the reason people take Uber isn't price, and that one day Uber will simply be able to jack up all their prices and make money. Demand doesn't work that way.
Demand does work that way.
Why does a drug dealer give free samples at first? ... Creating demand.
What they will not have for long though is a monopoly on supply in India.
This looks great. After this the next step for Jenkins should be to change the name.

As I was reading this, I just got a text message from Uber promoting a new offer - Just Rs. 100 for any trip of 15km or less between 12pm to 4pm.
Rs. 100 works out to under $1.5.
Or effectively, $0.10/km if you take a 15km trip.
How the hell is that ever going to be profitable?
It's introducing people to the service and acquiring market. Better prices come later.
msane commented on Cancelable Promises: Why was this proposal withdrawn? github.com/tc39/proposal-... · Posted by u/xatxat
Serious question - why is cancelling a promise a reasonable use case? Doesn't cancelling potentially invite non-deterministic state into your program? If not, what would be the difference from throwing?
A common case is for typeahead completion. You have a requst to the sever in flight to get typeaheads but the user has entered more characters and triggered another request. Now you would like to ignore the old one. Since async calls are not guaranteed to arrive in the same order they were sent, it would be nice to cancel the old one instead of maintaining logic to ignore it.
