The author glosses over this but what they mean is that you can set the HttpOnly flag on cookies to prevent them from being accessed via JavaScript.

How does ReactXP differ from Xamarin?
Xamarin is a cross-platform solution that allows developers to create apps on iOS, Android and Windows Phone using a single code base. Xamarin apps are written in C# and XAML, allowing .NET developers to leverage their skills and experience. Xamarin apps can be more efficient than React Native apps, which are limited by JavaScript performance and the overhead of the React Native bridge. Xamarin was acquired by Microsoft in early 2016 and is supported by a dedicated team of engineers. It offers a comprehensive development solution including tools for coding, debugging, performance analysis, builds, automated testing, and distribution.
ReactXP, unlike Xamarin, provides a way to create mobile apps and web apps using the same source base. ReactXP (like React and React Native) allow experienced web developers to make use of their existing skills and knowledge. ReactXP was developed by the Skype team at Microsoft in support of their development needs. ReactXP builds upon the work of Facebook and the broader React open source community.
Both Xamarin and ReactXP are great solutions, but they solve somewhat different problems.

WiFi passwords aren't about security for the people using the network, they're about blocking people who haven't paid for it. If, as an attacker, one of your targets is using JFK's airport WiFi, getting the password for that WiFi is the least of your problems.
Whether it's ethical to hand out passwords to people who haven't paid for WiFi is another question entirely, but wouldn't it be sweet if businesses just let anyone join their WiFi? Bike repair shops always leave a pump outside for anyone to use, not just customers.

It displays week 7 at the top right now because that's the point the students taking the course at Berkeley have reached this semester.
The table below includes all weeks.

This is very well put and the way you describe the intra-company blue-collar / white-collar divide is on the money. You are right, this sucks.
I'm more skeptical about not being in a free labor market. I know many people in London who get by on the minimum wage (~16K). I doubt the cost of living in a small-town factory in the Midwest is comparable to the cost of living in London.
It's a shitty situation, sure, but it sounds like a far cry from not being able to change jobs because a single day without any income would lead to insolvency.

Concretely though, in London, it takes under a day to find a "real" job in a restaurant or a bar just by walking around and handing out CVs, even if your English is very bad.
Deliveroo bikers have chosen Deliveroo over those, and there must be a reason for that, which the article fails to mention.
I'm also not taking sides, I just want to point out it's flat out wrong to say "if they're doing this in these conditions, it is probably because they don't have a choice".
