You're still publishing the tool you used to 'attack' the Uber API, might want to take that down if you're serious about not causing Uber harm.

Maybe Uber should implement the necessary rate limiting.
They did. Since it was a non public API he was abusing they just rate limited him to zero.
I feel that I should keep it up just for reference and educational purposes. This was in no way an attack, but a mere hack that was created in 24 hours. It was not intended to be damaging to the service, although I do take responsibility that it was.
