The worst thing, is not only did they cover it up, but they paid the f***ing ransom!

I too find that difficult to believe. Paying ransoms just make hacking profitable!

No, they didn't pay a ransom. They paid some nice people a perfectly acceptable admin fee to delete the data. The nice people in question probably forgot to specify which copy of the data they would delete but, hey, we all miss the odd little detail now and again don't we?
People are trying to twist this to make it sound like Uber have been dishonest, incompetent and stupid whereas in reality, they were incompetent, stupid and dishonest in an entirely different order. It's not a nice way to treat a highly respected business that is renowned the world over for its high levels of integrity and morality. Can we please just leave them alone?

Of course, how silly of me!
Just like it's silly of all their drivers to expect the minimum wage, paid holidays, paid sick leave, etc., and cut so nastily into Uber profits.

with all those phone books now in the clouds are we in danger?
I think the issue is some people like their mobile numbers kept secret, imagine all those drunk politicians calling uber.

In this case, being unlisted was free!  I am unlisted because I have never used Uber.

How so? I started with Angular (4) a few months ago and I'm liking it. There are some negatives though, like it being configuration heavy, but overall it's ok.

Did you consider React/Redux? Or Razor pages? Or anything else? Is this with Core 1/2 or MVC5? I'm curious as to what drove you to make the technology choices that you did?
