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.

There are 43 active parachains on Polkadot, not counting private ones, and 130 total announced projects headed for parachain status. When is the relay chain going to be upgraded to handle more than 100 parachains?
I don't think asynchronous backing has any direct effect on the number of parachains, no (I mean, there likely is an effect, but it's not the goal and my understanding is that any effect on that would be minimal, although I'm not involved in the deep engineering here). It increases throughput, correct, by decreasing the time between blocks by not needing to do a "roundtrip" to the relay chain to build new blocks. See https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/3779 for an overview.

Polkadot Staking Alternatives in light of Kraken US's staking closure
"The 27 waiting day is unavoidable and a very important security measure to protect against certain attacks and vulnerabilities of PoS. I totally understand that it is annoying, but arguably it is for the benefit+security of the overall network, which includes you as well at the end of the day as DOT-holder." - from this GitHub discussion.

Question about controller address when staking.
Actually it looks like you can! It's just not recommended. This is from the official documentation: "Starting with runtime version v23 natively included in the client version 0.8.23, payouts can go to any custom address. If you'd like to redirect payments to an account that is neither the controller nor the stash account, set one up. Note that setting an exchange address as the recipient of the staking rewards is extremely unsafe.*

A particular validator sent out a LOT of dispute reports (i.e., saying that other validators did something incorrectly) last night (for reasons unknown). It looks like other nodes "choked" reading all of these disputes, and one subsystem died, stalling nodes but NOT killing the process. It's still being investigated, but you can look at the issue on Github to see it being discussed here: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/6412

Deloitte Taps Polkadot Ecosystem's Kilt Blockchain for Digital Shipping Logistics
One of the most notable partnerships for Polkadot is with the Web3 Foundation, a Swiss non-profit organization that promotes the development and adoption of decentralized technologies. The Web3 Foundation was the organization that created Polkadot, and has provided funding for research and development to over 70 projects on the blockchain.

There are some Substrate-based chains, such as Aleph Zero, already using alternative consensus systems to have block times of around a second. There's also an RFP that I worked on last year looking for people to work on it for a W3F grant.
