:D certainly prejudice here, or it's a New York thing only. just to mention their methodology[1] to do the ranking here:
* Number of mentions of the system on websites, measured as number of results in search engines queries. At the moment, we use Google, Bing and Yandex for this measurement. In order to count only relevant results, we are searching for <system name> together with the term database, e.g. "Oracle" and "database". * General interest in the system. For this measurement, we use the frequency of searches in Google Trends. * Frequency of technical discussions about the system. We use the number of related questions and the number of interested users on the well-known IT-related Q&A sites Stack Overflow and DBA Stack Exchange. * Number of job offers, in which the system is mentioned. We use the number of offers on the leading job search engines Indeed and Simply Hired. * Number of profiles in professional networks, in which the system is mentioned.We use the internationally most popular professional networks LinkedIn and Upwork. * Relevance in social networks. We count the number of Twitter tweets, in which the system is mentioned.
