The Chevy Bolt doesn't even come close to Tesla's new Model 3

After all, GM beat Tesla to the punch with rolling out an affordably-priced electric car at $37,500 before federal tax exemptions. Not only does it have solid speed capabilities — it can get to 60 miles per hour in under seven seconds — but it boasts a long range of 200 miles. The Chevy Bolt will be available for purchase at the end of 2016.
But Tesla's Model 3, revealed Thursday night, simply offers more as an affordable electric car.
First of all, the Model 3 is cheaper. It costs $35,000 before federal tax exemptions, beating out the already low cost of the Chevy Bolt.
But it also has better specs than the Chevy Bolt. The Model 3 has a range of 215 miles and can get to 60 miles per hour in under six seconds. Tesla CEO Elon Musk added that these are
baseline specs they are working to exceed by the time the car is released in either late 2017 or early 2018.
Perhaps more importantly, the Model 3 comes with semi-autonomous features. The Chevy Bolt only comes with lane assist to help drivers avoid
accidents. But Tesla's Autopilot hardware comes standard in the Model
3. That means the Autopilot safety features, like side collision warning and automatic braking, will come with the Model 3 after you drop the
$35,000.
If you want Tesla's Autopilot "convenience features," like self-parking and lane switching, you'll have to pay an extra $3,000, Musk confirmed to Tech Insider Thursday.
Still, if you opt to go that route, you're dropping $38,000 for the Model 3 before federal tax exemptions. That's only $1,000 more than the entire cost of the Chevy Bolt, which doesn't come close to offering the same semi- autonomous features as the Model 3.
The Model 3 also has an impressive 15-inch touchscreen compared to the Chevy Bolt's 10-inch one.
And let's just be honest: the Model 3 sure is pretty.
Sorry Chevy, but if I have more than $35,000 to drop, I'm going with Tesla.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...
