Ask HN: Is the HN Firebase API Broken?

[AndriusSutas]

Why is the https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/updates 'items' end-point full of item IDs such as "5476201", and similar (created ~700 days ago) that from the first look do not have any recent changes?

[kogir]

We're adding the new "descendants" property to all items. Thus they've changed.

yup it is broken.
