As a developer, this both amuses and terrifies me.

The problem is that Microsoft didn't hire enough DEC programmers to work on NT.

Ah. I sense a story from the long ago that I've not heard before. I knew that Microsoft had poached a number of DEC folks to work on NT, but I didn't know it was that big of a thing.

I wonder what OS/2 might have been like if it had been Microsoft and DEC rather than IBM.

Don't feel so left out, somebody else has already leaked your information. Many times over, I'm sure.

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.

We used to call this a phone book and it was delivered for free to everyone's home.

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.
