<p>It&#8217;ll work similarly to the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/18/chromecast-skip-show-introductions-netflix/">&#8220;Skip Intro&#8221;</a> or &#8220;Next Episode&#8221; prompts you already see on Netflix. Meyers, who brought the idea to Netflix, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/04/media/seth-meyers-skip-politics-button-netflix/index.html">told</a> <em>CNN </em>the button is just &#8220;another joke in the special&#8221; and shouldn&#8217;t be taken too seriously. In fact, he doesn&#8217;t think many folks will actually use it.</p>
<p>Netflix has tried out other <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/13/netflix-tests-instant-replays-for-scenes/">interactive features</a>, such as with <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/22/2019-emmy-awards/"><em>Black Mirror: Bandersnatch</em></a> and the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/11/27/minecraft-story-mode-netflix/"><em>Minecraft: Story Mode</em></a> game. While the Trump joke button might not have quite the same level of complexity, it&#8217;s a fun use of Netflix&#8217;s tech that&#8217;s unlikely to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/29/netflix-responds-variable-playback/">cause as much commotion</a> as <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/25/netflix-variable-playback-android/">its test of variable playback speeds</a>.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be able to try the button when <em>Lobby Baby </em>hits Netflix Tuesday. More broadly, it&#8217;s worth considering whether Netflix will adopt a &#8220;Skip Scene&#8221; button for other purposes. Earlier this year, it <a href="https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1116024755356749824">warned <em>Our Planet</em> viewers</a> about possibly upsetting scenes they might want to zip past. It&#8217;s not impossible to imagine Netflix adding a button to skip potentially distressing sections of shows or movies.</p>

<p>San Francisco was the birthplace of the electric scooter, with Bird, Spin and Lime starting operations there last March. However, there were many objections to the <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/19/san-francisco-scooter-invasion/">scourge of scooters</a>, including that discarded scooters blocked access for pedestrians and that people frequently rode them on pavements.</p>
<p>In response to these complaints, the city vowed to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/27/san-francisco-proposes-electric-scooter-permit-rules/">bring in rules</a> for scooter companies and to limit the number of companies granted licenses to operate e-scooter programs to five. The scooters then had to be removed from the streets while companies <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/25/san-francisco-temporarily-removes-electric-scooters-from-streets/">obtained permits</a>, with <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/07/20/san-francisco-issue-electric-scooter-permits-next-month/">12 companies</a> submitting applications for scooter programs including <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/06/08/uber-san-francisco-scooter/">Uber</a> and Lyft.</p>
<p>In the end, only two smaller companies, Skip and Scoot, were granted permits to operate last year, although Lime did try to block the two services with a court case that was eventually <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/13/judge-rejects-lime-request-to-block-sf-rivals/">denied</a>.</p>
<p>In the latest round of 11 permit applications, Skip has been kicked to the curb and Jump, Lime and Spin have been accepted. Each company can deploy up to 1,000 scooters to begin with, with up to 2,5000 scooters each possible in the future. The 12-month permits will go into effect on October 15th this year.</p>
