Start Switch

So the idea behind the start switch is to figure out where in the Hacker News feed you want to start grabbing ids. For now the switch will only define the upper bound and will assume that the lower bound will be calculated based on the number of ids you define you want to pull.

The starting id can come from one of three places in order of selection.

1. A number you read from a Redis key
2. A number you pass into the code from which to start
3. The max_item_id based on this code

    let max_item_id = api.get_max_item_id().unwrap();
