This seems to be highly focused on global financial news, which are unsignificant to most people on this planet. It would be nice to be able to include or exclude certain news-categories to actually produce a list that has some significance to the reader.

I'm guessing the Arithmetic to maximising significance to population favours economics because 10 cents for every Indian outweighs 300 dead in a train crash several times over.

Indeed. The perfect news feed has to be tailored to the reader. For instance, events in my city have rather large impact on me but are not interesting for most of the planet.

Or perhaps they are more significant than they feel because their trickle-down effect is slow and hard to trace.
