The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.*

Bill Laboon AMA 9 Dec 2022 - 14.00-15.00 UTC
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

Polkadot Digest 21 June 2021
It's not part of the current Polkadot runtime, so you won't see the minimum stake at this point. You could calculate it out approximately what it will be by e.g. running https://github.com/w3f/validator-stats, parsing out all nominator amounts, sorting, and looking for spot #20_000.

Staking DOT: waiting nominators
This number fluctuates every era, and the most recent and up to date version can be found out using this community-developed tool or through these scripts which you can run on your machine. See the Election Solution Set section on the Nominator page for more details.

To see these figures and more on your own, you can run the validator-stats script here: https://github.com/w3f/validator-stats

Nominations remains inactive
Right now you have to run the validator-stats script and look for "Lowest minimal nominator". https://github.com/w3f/validator-stats
What are some alternatives?
When comparing polkadot and validator-stats you can also consider the following projects:
substrate - Substrate: The platform for blockchain innovators
parity-signer - Air-gapped crypto wallet.
substrate-open-working-groups - The Susbstrate Open Working Groups (SOWG) are community-based mechanisms to develop standards, specifications, implementations, guidelines or general initiatives in regards to the Substrate framework. It could, but not restricted to, lead to new Polkadot Standards Proposals. SOWG is meant as a place to find and track ongoing efforts and enable everybody with similar interests to join and contribute.
ledger-kusama - Kusama app for Ledger Nano S and X
rust - Rust language bindings for TensorFlow
Parity - (deprecated) The fast, light, and robust client for the Ethereum mainnet.
cumulus - Write Parachains on Substrate
subsocial-solochain - NOTE: Development continues in https://github.com/dappforce/subsocial-parachain repo. Subsocial full node with Substrate/Polkadot pallets for decentralized communities: blogs, posts, comments, likes, reputation.
tonic - A native gRPC client & server implementation with async/await support.
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
