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.

Is there anyway to defeat someone using your own hacked wallet as a honeypot?

Is there any way to pay gas with USDC offchain?
In theory you can do this now by exploiting front-running bots, see https://github.com/flashbots/pm/issues/24

Web3 Is Centralized (and Inefficient)
Front run + back run is sandwich. Front running has also been called miner extractable value. This is now called maximal extractable value.
You may want to look a little further, or not.

What is a high barrier to entry investment BUT with high returns in? ... In crypto of course
I know someone who runs a MEV-Bot, i.e. scanning the mempool for opportunities and bribing miners to include his arbitrage-tx into the chain via FlashBots.

The Father of Web3 Wants You to Trust Less
> “Less trust, more truth.”
What a neat platitude that means absolutely nothing. As a society, over, oh I don't know, like 5000 years, we figured out the the best way to enforce truth is via some sort of centralized institution: the court of law.
> They could, right. They sort of do—there’s the star thing that you can only do once per day. But guess what? They're a profit-motivated company. So if you pay Tinder enough, you can just send as many stars as you want.
Wait, crypto miners aren't profit-motivated? Maybe we should introduce Mr. Wood to flashbots[1] -- a "sub-network" of Ethereum miners (a fork of geth) who's entire purpose for existing is front-running. Truth as long as you can pay for it -- got it. Web3 is end-stage capitalism and we've been down this road in the early 1900s. Yawn.

Understanding and avoiding visually ambiguous characters in IDs
Modern bitcoin addresses use a base-32 character set that leaves out some of the most ambiguous pairs and also permutes the address ordering so that the most visually similar remaining characters produce single bit errors which are better handled by the addresses error detecting (and potentially correcting) code.

Bitcoin Block 840000
Context: Bitcoin miners have just adopted a 50% pay cut for themselves. This pay cut was baked into Bitcoin protocol at the launch of the network (mostly, see "BIP 42" [1]). The OP link gives information about the block in which this pay cut was made.
I get that HN comments tend to dismiss Bitcoin. But the fact that for the fourth time this pay cut has happened without a hitch speaks volumes to what makes Bitcoin interesting: It's a rare combination of economic incentives and technology that keeps chugging. Nobody can stop it. And it's extremely resistant to change. It requires no governmental approval. All attempts at subversion or interference have failed. There aren't many things that come close to that kind of record.

Generating and Working With ScriptPubKeys in Bitcoin Transactions
Bitcoin transactions involve locking funds in scripts, which can only be spent if those locking conditions are met. The part of the script that expresses these locking conditions are called ScriptPubKeys. On the other hand, the part that provides unlocking scripts to satisfy the locking conditions is referred to as ScriptSig for legacy transactions, and ScriptWitness for SegWit Transactions. These scripts are evaluated by a stack-based language called Script. This article will mainly focus on ScriptPubKeys.

SEC Charges Kraken for Operating as an Unregistered Securities Exchange
No one controls Bitcoin, because it's a protocol. Bitcoin Core is the reference implementation, but there are others, and anyone can create new implementations if they wish. Also, the Bitcoin Core maintainers can't just change something on a whim, because users would then switch to another fork. Maintainers (or miners or other groups) can't force their changes on users, because everyone can decide on their own which version they want to use.
The protocol development happens through BIPs (Bitcoin improvement proposals): https://github.com/bitcoin/bips
BIPs are discussed for years, before (and if) they are implemented, and basically everyone needs to agree on them, because no one wants to fork the blockchain, which could be devastating.
