Can someone explain to me why in Section 4: Functions they compute Twice by multiplying the number by three then subtracting the number once? Is it just to showcase more math, or is there a detail I'm missing?

> /* Computes double of a number. Works by tripling the number, and then subtracting to get back to double. /

   static int Twice(int num) {

      int result = num * 3;

      result = result - num;

      return(result);**

If it's 240W, that's 48V @ 5A. The same current as today's cables (100W: 20V @ 5A). Most likely won't get to melt any cables :)

Isn't the counter-point to this the stock price of PG&E? Look at its performance over the last 5 years, it's down to ~$11 from ~$50.

If the the whole market looked like this in the next year, people's 401k accounts would probably be demolished.

Looks like NVLink is 25GT/s while PCIe 5.0 is 32GT/s (per pair of electrical "wires").
