AFAIK this article is not discussing new layoffs, this was previously discussed 3 months ago

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47587935

The angle of the article is basically they did these layoffs and now also face some serious debt risks. Which was also obvious a few months ago. Oracle made a huge gamble, even more so than other big tech firms.
