Also, if we ignore for a moment how hacky it is to implement throttling like this - why would someone write if(!((_ok) ? true : (Math.random() > 0.1))) when you could use if(!(_ok || Math.random() > 0.1)) or just if(!_ok && Math.random() < 0.1) ?

Because Math.random's expensive and you don't want to execute it unless you're sure.

  Expensive only really matters in a loop. And this logical operator would short circuit anyway.

  The && operator short-circuits, if `!_ok` Math.random won't be called at all.
