#4(bonus). Write a method that Scrapes Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/)
#and returns a hash of link titles paired with their actual url


#5(bonus). Alter the scraping method above to go to the next page of links and
#scrape that one and add those new links to the hash

Why did you make all your values strings for the first two? Wouldn't arrays or hashes be better?
