- mzs 10y agoFor some reason the URL was not working for the story submission: http://www.projectmurphy.net http://www.projectmurphy.net some examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/projectmurphy/ https://www.reddit.com/r/projectmurphy/ https://www.facebook.com/projectmurphybot/ https://www.facebook.com/projectmurphybot/

- kevinwang 10y agoIt might not have worked because it's already been posted before? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11752790 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11752790 But I think reposts are allowed on HN, so I'm not sure if that's why.
- mzs 10y agoNo it let me, but the URL was broken with an extra /, so I had to delete it and link to the about.

- methou 10y agoThis is indeed very fun, but when mentioning "what if" the first thing jumps into my mind is alternative history, like r/historywhatif. With all the fancies of machine learning and Microsoft wouldn't be super cool to have something that tries to figure out historical events, visualize them in a timeline or a tree, let you replace some titles and compute the yields? Hope I'm not off topic.
