Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Rethinking GPS: Engineering Next-Gen Location at Uber
Cool, so it looks like they take the “raw” GPS location (after the GPS module does processing to spit out a lat/long) and applies statistical methods with a model of the actual 3D geometry. Seems like a smart way to improve the accuracy from “userspace”.
This reminds me of the Comma.ai project, Laika [0]. Since they have access to the raw GPS module data (Ie the actual timings of each received satellite transmitting), they can do things such as correcting for troposphere/ionosphere delays by looking up the relevant astro data as recorded by NASA and others.
