They're basically equivalent, though not quite identical. The first creates
a jQuery object containing 'this' and calls the find method on it, finding
elements that match the selector. The second searches for elements that
match the selector, within a non-default context provided (the default
context is the document). So what's the difference? None in terms of finding
the elements that match this selector within this element. But imagine you
wanted to chain and do more with $(this). After .find(selector).hide() you
could .end() and go along with your chain (which is now back at $(this)). In
short, use whichever one works.
