I just grabbed my tablet and opened HN. I was logged out too! I have never seen this happen on this site, and I find it curious that both devices weee affected on the same day.
Has this happened to anyone else today?
I did - had to log in again to comment, thought it was a little odd, but eh, I see that the user cookie is only set for a year.

I didn't know it was contagious!
Sorry! /s
Not sure why this is a worth a post; who cares in the grand, medium and small scale of things.
Logging out of HN logs you out of every device. I figure they hold some session data server-side that is deleted, so your other sessions are invalidated. Not sure why this is a worth a post; who cares in the grand, medium and small scale of things.
I figured it was worth posting because I get relatively uneasy when unexpected things happen, and if others were also affected then I could just justify it to myself as a server side thing. In fact, what you just told me about logout being global is already very helpful, so I guess it wasn’t for naught. :)
Nope. Same cookie from a few days ago.
