Just compared my Pros and XM4 back-to-back and the Pros seem to have better noise canceling but YMWV with getting a good enough seal. Transparency mode is where the AirPods take it without question.

That’s the point. It’s a made up term arbitrarily bunching subgroups together. It’s not relevant in countries where being Black, Latino, Asian, etc. isn’t an outlier. But, I guess you can use White if you want, who’s going to stop you?

It refers to a specific group of people with some shared culture in the same way Polish, American, Asian, and Californian would. As for the second paragraph, I noticed there was a difference between the way teachers treated me and other stu

It only lets you use fixed multiples for this reason (0.1, 1, 10, etc.). You can reasonably narrow it down as the amounts get higher, though.

Trustless in the context of crypto means you don’t have to put your trust (if you don’t want to) a 3rd party because they don’t have the option to not do the right thing. It gives you the ability to know exactly what you will lose and what
