My estimate was only $21M (vs ~$0.01 average bill). Wish I had checked status sooner and saved myself the panic!
My process went: verify email is not phishing (it was), login to console and check dashboard (same amount), attempt to understand cost (cost management kept contradicting itself), try to log support ticket and only on that part did I notice the status notification. At least I can breathe again now!

Re:Ask HN: Where do you deploy to in 2018 and how?

Azure App Service, deployed via Visual Studio Team Services. App Service supports Git push deployments, but VSTS plays nicely with it (as you'd hope).

If drivers can decide how long they are willing to work, even if there aren't many/any passengers around, then Uber has no way to control costs.
Unless they already have something in place to manage how many drivers are on the road in an area at any time? I thought that was just controlled by supply/demand, but that gets skewed by Uber needing to still pay minimum page when there is an over-supply.

The article says drivers are entitled to minimum wage. I thought Uber drivers choose their own hours so I don't see how this will work?
