It’s an entire book length of material, but in short, for built up areas drivers are forced through street to design to be higher alert to their surroundings. EX: chicanes in the road, speed tables, brick roads, narrow streets, small/tight turn radius, no turn on red, etc. These all work together to make a system that is amongst the safest in the world for pedestrians, and by happenstance has the happiest drivers.
Also, bike traffic and vehicle through traffic are separated on different networks, so a conflicts are minimized.
Which requires a long and detailed answer that can be found by simply googling "Dutch traffic engineering standards" which leads you to an entire wealth of information.
This is the name of the city today, but this has not always been the case. In the past, Leuven was a bilingual city, and to many of the people who lived there, the city was known as Louvain.
Back then, a large proportion of Flemish intellectuals (including my grandparents) were French-speaking, which is a reason why there were so many French students and professors in Leuven/Louvain. Therefore I think that, in the context of the article, the "wrongness" of calling the city Louvain is not as clear-cut as you suggest.
You seem to be using a dictionary with very short entries. Mine contains 10 different meanings of the verb "take" and one of them is "obtain, gain, acquire".
Dictionary definitions and legal definitions may or may not overlap. If not discussing the legal definition, than steal could mean someone enjoyed an appropriately licensed copyrighted work secretly or in private.
To anyone interested in reading more reports (and more nuanced ones, in my opinion) from experienced meditators, I highly recommend the streamentry subreddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/streamentry).
Not really confusing when you assume the intention is to look clever - the more different the letterform you find while it still being recognisable as the one you are replacing, the more exaggerated your effect is without further reducing readability.
(Yes, I know this isn't "just to try look clever", ala 1337-speak, and is trying to make a relevant reference to the cross audience understanding the is relevant to a cross platform executable, but the point still stands about choosing less similar but still similar enough glyphs)
Why don't you stick to the energy growth rate (instead of the 4.72% velocity growth rate) and then use the relativistic formula of the kinetic energy (in which the relationship between energy and velocity is not quadratic — the quadratic approximation is valid only for small velocities)?
