I'm still reading and just looking at the screenshots and I have to say I very much prefer the Tarsnap design not the cheap template one which doesn't really look very trustworthy to me and is probably more suited for an online pharmacy.

Coudn't agree more. The current design of tarsnap is much better. It shows that tarsnap is serious about technology and security.

Out of curiosity, what's the biggest P&L you've had responsibility for in your career?

I don't think that's out of curiosity.

It is. I'm curious because I'm interested in someone who has managed a large P&L but nevertheless thinks Tarsnap is the way to go for their org.

I am also curious because I believe most of the comments here on HN amount to not liking this article because it doesn't appeal to them as a customer without regard to what it means for Tarsnap as a business.
